Difficulties with these:

Hi everyone,Here is my problem:

Between these two forms,can anyone tell me if they are right?

I actually have difficulties differenciating both of these,do they have the same meaning?

-I'd like a wife I could make babies with

-I'd like a wife WHO I would make babies with

Which one is better?

Thanks for helping!

The sentence with "who" is correct.
