At 22-23 I couldn't have wanted anything less than a child, I was far far too busy having fun, working hard on a career and saving up to go on holidays so I can see a bit of the world! I wouldn't have said that a lot of women have their biological clock ticking at that age anymore, in fact, in my circles it would've been considered young.

Why are you so desperate to have a child now?

And please, do not have a baby yet with this man. 6 months and you're still in the honeymoon phase of your relationship. Its early days for sure. I agree with Confused - wait until your relationship gets stronger and you end up married before having children. You'll need each other a lot and it really is hard work being a single parent if it all went wrong.

And as for your fella talking about it - its great that you've got a fella that wants kids. Trust me on this one, but I bet he's thinking that a baby is off in the distance. In fact, if he would have a kid with you now, my alarm bells would ring. I would drop the subject for now, and live a bit together. Go see the world, build up some wonderful happy memories to share, just do fun things together - you will not get the chance for years and years when a baby comes along.
