How do I tell my husband that I'm ready for a baby now?


Question Posted Wednesday March 24 2010, 10:57 pm

A few years ago I got married to my darling husband. He's really a wonderful man but I wasn't ready for a baby then. Two of my best friends have BOTH just become pregnant and it makes me realize that I'd like to be pregnant now as well. I am ready to have my first baby but I don't know how to tell my husband now. When we got married he really wanted to have a baby right away and I told him how I didn't want that to happen so he was very disappointed.

He is only going to be happy. He obviously wants kids, and respects that you wanted to wait.
No reason to be scared, he wants kids.
Just walk up to him and tell him you would like to try and have kids. Just flat out tell him.
Make a nice dinner, and tell him. It doesn't really matter where or how, as long as you do it.
And yes, do it in person.

-E!

I'd go with something ridiculous like walking up to him with your birth control and a lighter and asking him if he wants you to burn your pills.

I would find a nice quiet place, no phone, TV, Radio to have a comfortable talk with him. Maybe a walk in the park or a picnic spot you both like. Then you might say something to him like; honey I think I’m mature enough know and secure enough in our relationship that if you still want to and when you are ready I would like to start our family.

I would keep it just that simple. It is basically what I said to my wife and how I approached her when I was ready to settle down and start a family.

When you go to bed tonight, give him a kiss goodnight, then tell "Oh, By the way, I'm ready for a baby!" He'll be happy, I'm sure.

If you think he is still wanting a baby, make a celebration out of it. Fix a nice romantic dinner
& just tell him you're ready to start a family.
