I am 19, he's gonna be 20 next month. We have been together for 4 years today. He told his friend he's gonna propose tonight. Will my parents be mad??

Don't tell them about the marriage until your boyfriend proposes.
1) Go to the doctor first and get word on the health of the baby. Meaning, get when the baby is due, how healthy the baby is, etc.
2) I would tell them about it at the same time, really. There's no real solution. They are going to find out that you got pregnant before he proposed, especially when the baby is born "early."
You both are REALLY young. It doesn't matter how long you've been dating, especially since you both have yet to really grow up yet.
I would suggest putting off the wedding for 2 years so you can both get your lives under control. Don't just jump into a marriage because you have a kid--if you're dedicated, it shouldn't matter.

I would go to the Dr and get a check up fully on the baby and then wait for a scan, once this is all done, you can tell your parents, but make sure that they dont think that one is happening because the other one happened.
Good Luck and Congratulations

I would tell them about the marriage first because it will soften the blow about you being pregnant and not married yet. You can say it like this. "Roy" (Whatever your b/f's name is) asked me to marry him." and then you can say we want to get married anyway, but we are going to have a baby so that makes it even better.

I wouldn't say a single word about either until he "actually proposes" and you're _wearing_ that engagement ring.
Once they hear about your upcoming marriage and _see your ring_, this will prove his commitment to you, and it will make announcing your pregnancy a whole lot more expected and welcomed news. You and them will be much happier by doing it this way. :))

I think you already mixed up the order by getting pregnant before you got married so I don't think it matters much what you tell your parents at this point.
If you were really concerned you would have thought about this before.
