Unhappy Boyfriend doesn't want a baby now

My boyfriend and I have been together 2 years next month and I'm sure he's the one that I want to be with for the rest of my life. For the past year I've been telling him that I really want a baby and he insists he's not ready.

He's 30 and I'm 21. He's been through a divorce and has a 4 year old child from that previous relationship. When I try talking about it he gets really defensive and when I ask him why he's not ready he says "I don't know".

This really frusterates me when he does this and the conversation seems to go nowhere. He says maybe in like three years but I absolutely don't want to wait that long and I told him I wouldn't because of the issue of men being older and having children with down syndrome and other birth defects from a man over the age of 35. I'm not saying this would happen but it increases the chances.

Should I wait it out or abort the relationship? What can I tell him to ease the anxiety? I think this has something to do with his previous relationship and I feel as if I'm getting "stiffed" because of it. Please Help!!!!!!
