They give birth to the young with the spines fully developed, whether it hurts or not, ask a porcupine.
The young porcupine's quills are soft at birth but harden within the first half hour after birth. I would imagine that natural child birth does not come without some pain, but the pain for the porcupine is not cause by the quills.

If you mean "make babies", the answer is "carefully" :-)
They mate "doggie-style" with the male mounting the female just like most any land-living mammals.
Here is a video of Porcupines Mating:

So a mother porcupine giving head first vaginal birth to her young would have no problem....the quills just lie tightly against the baby's body. Think about it.
