That’s deeply rooted in male psychology, a hero instinct that’s one of the building blocks of reasons he fell in love with you. As long as he knows you genuinely need him around, he’ll be your protector instead of a partner in crime or accessory to child making.

Your man sees you as the queen of his life, and the mother to be of his child. He’s looking at you as someone who will shine some light into his drab life, introducing the softness of heart and resolve of the mind that a newborn brings. If he wants to have a baby with you, it’s because he too yearns for the fresh spring brought by the miracle of new life.
It’s also essential to note that if a man wants you to be his baby’s mama, he sees in you an ability, responsibility, and a nurturing spirit. He is sure that you’re the one who can efficiently carry and deliver his little prince or princess, a pact made for life.
But what do you do when you’re unsure if he has an ulterior motive, or he’s only toying with your feelings? Can you let his games or manipulations affect your life, and that of the child that you two will have?

It’s reliable if he now bears your tantrums, listens to your humbugs, and treats you like you’re the baby. Your husband is making an effort to show care and attention, showing himself capable and responsible for taking care of all that matters to you.

Could be you have other children, but of late, your man has been trying to spend more time with them. He’s actively attracting kids to him, and not getting annoyed when they cry or misbehave. Has the clown in him dominated his personality nowadays whenever he’s with tots? Does he actively make them laugh?
If he’s making eye contact or interacting with other kids, in shopping malls, or any of your outings, get ready to give him a baby. Instead of moping about in his study, watching football, or playing video games, he’s ready to dedicate time and effort to nurture a child with you.
