Say no.: You're an adult and if you have a baby it is a lifetime responsibility, and not your mother's but yours. Just let your mother know that you and your husband will make a decision on when you as a couple are ready, and that you acknowledge her desire to have a grandson/granddaughter, but it will happen at the time you and your spouse decide it. Stand your ground.

Yes: Tell your mother you love her and understand her need for grand children but you will do that when you and your partner are ready to be parents and hope she loves you enough to trust that you will do that when you are ready. If that fails may request family counselling

It is: Your life and your choice when to start a family. You are young. Respectfully tell your mom that you have not made plans for a baby in the near future
