Is my boyfriend hinting that he wants a baby?

I have been off of birth control for a little while because it was making me incredibly sick. Well, the other day we were getting ready to have sex and he goes to our dog all jokingly "Get out of here. Mommy and Daddy are making a baby." I think he was joking but lately every time I am feeling sick he says something like "It's cause you're pregnant baby or cause you have a bun in the oven." It's just bizarre. He has never mentioned this before and has always said he didn't want kids and wanted to wait for a long time. Recently, he has been talking about how cute our friend's baby daughter is and how he would be a good dad and about children. I am ready for a child now, but I don't want to creep him out if it is all just a joke. We are financially stable right now.

  • If you have gone 'Off of birth control,' and are using nothing Now at all, you can Bet your sweet 'As the bough breaks----You probably will be getting that bun in the oven sooner than you think. I have read on it, heard about it, that This is the time You can Get Pregnant-----Any time.
    Sit down as this couple in love and talk it over. It sounds like you are both at this Mature age where it May be time to start a family, and with 'Financially stable,' that would surely be the Tie that binds you both.
    It is a decision that I feel needs 'Mommy and daddy' decisions with, and being you have all your eggs in a basket, I also feel it's time----For the Big talk.
    Good luck, God's blessings from Paris13... xx

  • I think he wants a baby... Yes he could be joking but the fact that he's also commenting on other people's children, suggesting that you're pregnant, and talking about how he'd make a great dad just seems obvious to me that he's ready. You should talk to him about it! :)

  • To me, I would say he probably wants one. That's how it started with my husband, just jokes and talking about other people's babies and the boom, he told me he seriously wants a baby.

  • He's probably joking since you are off birth control now. But I bet he is thinking about it, hell I'm 21 and I think about it, but I don't want one right now because I'm not ready. At 25+ you should be a lot better off than I am. Just bring it up (only if you want one though). Alternatively, to put the ball in his court, next time he says something like that, ask him why he said it.

  • Hm, could definitely be hints that his "biological clock" is setting in. Yes, guys have one too. I also didn't want kids... then all of a sudden I was noticing kids and finding them cut, then not long thereafter just started feeling this strong drive to make a baby. And I did, now a dad.

    It's difficult to tell though, he could just think it's funny to joke like that.

    • @"finding them cut" I mean finding them CUTE, lol, wtf.. "finding them cut"
