Talk to him seriously and tell him how you feel and that you want a kid and see how he feels then you guys can talk it out but first you should see if the relationship is able to handle it

Talk to him about it. Maybe he wants to have a baby to, but the only way you will find out is if you talk to him about it and see what he thinks.

You can just try approaching him and telling him. Unless he has something strong against babies there shouldn't be too many problems.

You can talk to him about where he sees your guys future going. If he wants you guys to always be together, then talk to him about wanting a family with him.

The best way to let him know would be to sit him down and have a discussion about your relationship and where you see it going. Always be frank and have absolute transparency in every discussion, be it small or big. This is a BIG discussion and you need to prepare yourself of every eventuality or response that he might have to your request, after all, you must understand that different people have different goals and desires. If you'll have been going strong for a long time, it should be safe to assume that he will welcome the discussion and there will be a productive discourse on the topic. All the best!

I feel like that honesty and open communication are key in a situation like that. Tell him openly what you want but also tell him that you would like to know his thoughts and that you do not want to put him under immediate pressure.

It is always best to be honest. Discuss it with him kindly in a calm environment and allow him to give his honest input as well.

In a relationship, the most important thing is quality communication and honesty. If this is really what you want, you need to tell him. There is certainly a risk that he may not feel the same way, but if you can't communicate and trust one another... maybe you're not meant to be togther.

You get him someplace quiet and relaxed and tell him that you want to have a child. If he freaks out tell him it's ok if he doesn't want to

Just that- tell him, because open and honest communication is important in a relationship. But also realize he may not be at the same point as you in life, and he may not be ready. Understand him and in return, hope he understands you.
