I can understand that this is a frustrating time. I'd consider talking to him thoroughly about this, and maybe agree on a long term plan, after all this is a journey you have to take together.

Talk to your boyfriend about it. Make sure the both of you are mature and ready for a baby. The mature and ready you are,the more capable you both will be to tak on the role of being a parent.

I believe this is unique for each relationship as each couple and each person is different. Communication is always key. Why doesn't he want a baby yet? Will this change after a certain goal? Is it possible to wait and plan it for the future? How long are you willing to wait? Do you know if he ever wants a baby at all? If not have you thought about your own future and family? Whatever might be the case, communication is key. If you can come to a conclusion, no matter which one, you've made progress.

If he is not ready, don't rush it. Good things come at the right moments. Be patient and learn more about how he feels about becoming a parent...

It's important that you both feel ready to have a baby, after all a baby is a life long commitment! The important thing is you said he doesn't want a baby yet. Take your time, enjoy life, and eventually he may feel ready too. Keep lines of communication open, and discuss the possibility of a baby in the future. Good luck!

Well look every one at one point wants a baby in there life but at some cases the other person is not ready yet so my best advice is if you really love this person then wait till he/she is ready for it maybe it's not the best moment to have one Maybe yall to young for whatever reason I think it's best if you wait a little more

Sit down and talk to him, don't try to rush things. Communication is key when it comes to relationships so you shouldn't push the other person to do something they don't want to

Respect his decision and give him time to think about it. Raising a child is a great challenge, even if you have the resources to. It will also take a lot of commitment from the both of you to make it through.
