How do I tell my husband I want to have another baby? I don't know if he's ready for another and I don't want to upset him by saying this and finding out he's not ready. How do I go about this subject.

Why do you need to tell him ... I mean .... it's not as if he has to prepare himself like you do ... it's not like he'll be feeling bloated or waddling like a duck .... if you want to fall ... just fall .... he's your husband ... he'll love another child I'm sure :)
Good Luck :)

Drop some non chalant comments...like someone said before that you could ask while watching your 16 month old together "wouldn't it be great to have another one like him/her running around?" That way you can broach the subject without being totally direct. Sometimes that way is so much easier.
I really don't think you're worried about him being upset, but you being disappointed if his response is anything other than yes. I can understand that....I'm ready and my husband isn't. It was disappointing to hear him say that.

Just ask him. My hubby wanted another right away. needless to say I have a 4 and a 5 year old. All men are different. just be hounest and ask him. what will he say? no?

Maybe while you're watching the one (ones) you have now playing and being cute you could say something like, "Wouldn't it be nice to have another one to complete our happiness?"

from a male' point of view.
You say "I want US to have another baby."
Depending on his reaction you will know if you want to stay married or not.

Please dont make a baby. Why not adopt? This planet needs another human like a drowning man needs a glass of water.

just ask him straight out if he's ready and if he says no, ask him when he thinks he WILL be ready. negotiate from there

sI'mply tell him...im sure he won't be upset about it coz he loves you and there's no better way for you to know but to tell him...just accept what ever he may tell you then.
