I've been having intermittent problems with posting since GW's format change, so I'm just now getting back to responding to this question.
Anyway.
Which Season 4 episode do I think would have had more Teyla if Teyla's pregnancy had not been added? That's a good question, but hard to answer because since Rachel was pregnant, the writers would have had to write around Rachel's pregnancy, which is why I wish they had continued with their original plan of going with a dark-Teyla storyline.
Why? Because they could have written a dark-Teyla as leaving Atlantis to concentrate on finding her people herself and then written her in such a way as to keep her storyline intertwined with the overall storyline even when she couldn't be on screen due to Rachel's pregnancy. For instance, I think that The Last Man could have been a stronger episode and the Michael arc would have made more sense if the writers had fleshed out why Michael was so obsessed with Teyla and her child. Having a separate Teyla storyline that intertwined with the overall storyline would have gone a long way to fleshing out that arc and Teyla's role, IMO.
