Having a baby is a huge responsibility. Make sure it's something you are both ready for. When you know you are, just be honest with him. Explain your reasons. Hopefully he'll be feeling the same. Good luck.

I wouldn't until you fully understand your own reasons for wanting a baby. You can't tell someone else if you don't know how to first tell yourself or justify your own reasons. Once you do this it should give you more confidence to eventually tell your boyfriend. Best of luck and all my love.

Ask him if he wants this relation to stop . If he replies no, then go on and tell him that you guys need to go more seriously into your own relationship. That would mean having a baby and meeting family and marriage ... go on.

Sit him down and tell him how you feel! Being open is so important- especially when talking about big decisions and emotions. Remember to keep eye contact too- your eyes are the gateway to your soul!

You can perhaps drop hints to him, for example showing him baby clothes or pictures, you can also suggest how you'd think he'd be a great dad

There's a lot of factors to take into consideration where starting a family is concerned as you probably know- e.g. finances, living arrangements, how long you've been in a relationship, age etc. I think the first step is making sure your partner is on the same page as you. Perhaps in conversation(try to keep it light) ask if they've considered having children in the future. Some people don't want to be parents ever, and that's perfectly ok. What's not ok is to force a person into having a child because only one party wants one. It's a big responsibility and can test even the most sturdy of relationships. Discuss the future, ask him where he sees your relationship going in 5 years, then introduce the idea of family to him as something you'd be looking for. Go from there.

be honest and talk to him about it. BE sure that you both are ready for the responsibility of a child.

I would casually ask him how he feels about kids and then go from there. Also if you're not certain you want it NOW, you could mention "in the future".

Start of by giving him hints, ex. When you see children point them out and say how cute they are. If he doesn't get the hint just ask if he'd like to have kids sometime..

The best way to do this is to just simply sit down with him and talk to him about it, say that you are ready to have a child and ask if he is as well. If he is not ready you have to respect that but maybe ask why or when he thinks he will be able to. Make sure you do not put too much pressure on him otherwise the conversation could take a turn and he might get angry. But I wish you the best,
