I am ready to start trying to have a baby but I'm not sure my hubby is ready. He says he wants kids but hasn't said anymore. What should I do?

do what my wife did- lied about taking her birth control daily...... Once your a pregnant there is really nothing he can do......but blame you for ruining his life once in a blue .....besides kids are a blessing and he will get over it

Sit him down and have a talk with him. You're married, part of having a healthy marriage is having open and honest communication.
Ask him when he wants kids, how many, what does he want to have in place (own a house, pay off a debt, be more mature, have more time to just be instead of being a parent) before he wants to have kids. Let him talk, encourage him to talk.
Then let him know how you've been feeling. Let him know why you'd like to have a baby, talk to him about when, about how many... about all of that.
Take his feelings and thoughts into consideration. Don't be too disappointed if he wants to wait. Don't be pushy about it. FOr goodness sake, don't be like some have been and try to trick him into it (I'm not saying you would, I'm just suggesting you don't even consider that to be an option).
Really, just sit down in a quiet time and talk to him.
Good luck.

You should sit down and talk with him! Find out how he feels and what he wants!! Make sure he's ready or could possibly be ready by the time the baby arrives! Don't force him into it, but be patient, considerate and understanding!

I would just sit down and ask him if he's ready to start trying. That's the only real way to ever know. If you're on birth control ask him if you need to refill your prescription. :) Good luck!!

You were supposed to sort that out, before marrying.
Children are the fruit, of the love between a husband and wife (that's how it is supposed to be). If that is true, then there should be no hesitation, on his part...

do u have any pets? me and my boo decided to start with a pet first to see how each other discipline. how they nurture and take care of the animal. this way, you see a parental role in them, with out having a child involved.
if so. then i would just bring it up. not suddenly, but just slightly enter it in a conversation and see wether or not he is open to talking about it or if he just ends it. this way you will know if he is open to it. if he isnt open, i think we both know what that means.
i think talking about it is the right thing to do!
Good Luck!

if he's waiting to be "financially stable" before having a baby, then it will never happen. Just sit down and talk to him. you might be surprised what he has to say.
