Ask your boyfriend how he sees the future of the relationship and where it is headed. See if his views match up with yours and introduce/bring up the idea of having a child together. Of course, make sure you have enough money to support the three of you.

Ask his opinion about babies next time you see a baby on tv or on the street and say you would like to have one. It's important to stay calm if he says he doesn't feel ready yet and explain why you feel ready (eg you have enough money and stable jobs, a house, you feel you know how to take care of someone that depends on you). Good luck!

Open communication. There are no hints or getting around a straightforward conversation ESPECIALLY on a life changing topic like this. Be honest, be truthful, and be open to a discussion.

Having a baby is a big decision. You must think about it. And so does your boyfriend. So before talking about it with your partner, you must be sure, that this is really, what you want to do. But when you are totally sure, that you want a baby, then you can go for a walk (for example) and when you pass playground or sth you can ask him, does he wants babies.

Tell him, this is where you are in your life amd you see it being with him. Talk face to face. If the time.isnt ready for.him, see what you can to to make him more comfortable at the idea. Starting a family is a big.thing. Dont pressure him. But do talk about it

Try to bring up the concept of having a baby. Maybe talk hypothetically about it. Try to get him to understand the joy it would bring the pair of you and how you feel he would be as a father. Remember to always be truthful. If he seems open to discussions and suggestions about the topic then you can say that you have been thinking about it and that you want one. This will implant the idea of having a baby before you ask it so he will be less shocked or surprised and by talking about the positives beforehand. The positives will be the first thing he thinks of when you ask

You need to sit down with him and calmly explain your wishes and feelings. Try to understand his side of the story and his reasons if he has oposite opinion than you
