Baby fever

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right thing to post on here but I really need some truthful advice, me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years and I have recently caught baby fever, it's hit me bad, it's ALL I think about (even cried some times about it) I'm DESPERATE to start trying and when we've spoken about it he just says 'it will happen when the time is right' basically he is not ready, he's told me he's not ready, he keeps using reasons like holidays, weekends away, nights out as a reason to put me off baring in mind we don't hardly do any of them things, I'm finding it sooooo hard to be with someone who doesn't want the same things as me, do I wait? Do I not? Help!

Hi!

Does he defo want kids at some point? Personally, it would be a deal breaker for me. I told my (now hubby) boyfriend fairly early in that I wanted kids so he knew it's what I wanted. (We're not expecting our second).

It's hard not to get caught up in it all xx

@Aiimee I've been with my DH nearly three years. When we got together he said he never wanted kids as he already had one (not conceived in a relationship), he also never wanted to get married. He was very adamant on all of the above, and I was very adamant that I did want all of the above.

Fast forward to now...we own our own home, we're married and are actively trying for a baby.

How old are the two of you? If he's not outright saying he doesn't want kids it wouldn't be alarm bells for me - given that you're still young?

I almost wish I didn't feel like this but I really can't help it I've tried pushing myself into other things to take my mind of it but once I'm in bed at night it's again all I can think of, we've been seeing each other 4 years, officially dating for 2 years, owned our first house beginning of this year, I'm just so ready
We are both 27, even if I had a timescale I think could cope but he just says 'it will happen when the time is right'
Well it's right for me now, I know I'm just noticing it more but it seems that wherever I go someone in pregnant, children are everywhere I can't avoid so it is constantly on my mind xx
