Ask him in a subtle manner, maybe he feels the same way and is in the same position - too shy to speak about it.

Telling your boyfriend that you want to have a baby can be scary, especially if we are not sure that he wants the same. The most important here is to stay open to any answer and to respect what he wants. Good luck!

Come at him and say "I want to have a baby. I find them cute and I think we are so ready for this," The telling itself isn't scary, I guess, It's the reaction that is.

Try talking to him calmly. Call him over, tell him you want to discuss one thing about the future of your relationship, and say that having a baby is something you want to do.

You should first find out what he thinks about having children. Basing on his response, you can convey your thoughts about having a child compassionately, but assertively.

Tell him upfront, he deserves that. But do talk to him about his take on this, your environment, social and financial status, future plans etc. That way you don't risk coming off as a demanding woman who's imposing her wishes on him. It's a decision you will be taking together; honesty and transparency are your best friends.

I would be a bit suttle and calm when confronting him. Allowing yourself to take a few deep breaths to calm down, may very well help you. But also make sure that you're really sure about wanting to have a child, it's a very big responsibility..

If you are married already thats okay, but if you are still a teenager I think its best that you dont mention it to him.

you want to feel that you trust the person, and you have an open channel for communication. It can be scary, but often it's worth it just to say the truth. Maybe he will like it. And if not right away, it might take time until he understands
