well, this is a situation.
i havent been in this situation, but i am in a mixed religion relationship.
is he willing to convert? do you want him to convert? do your parents know you are pregnant? have you told your parents (even though it would prolly be a blow) that the religion issue isnt as realavent in your life as it was in thiers? these are a few things to think about.

No matter what you and this guy are having a baby together. Granted, your parents may not like it AT ALL, but he has a right to that baby unless he gives up that right, or chooses not to accept that right. If he is willing to be in the child's life then your parents cannot stop that; and that is the biggest issue at this point. If you two want to be together than you need to talk to your parents about the issues surrounding everything.

I have not been in a similar situation really, other than my mother not liking my boyfriend because he is African American, but I am 19 years old and therefore a grown adult. Hopefully someone will have experienced something similar and be able to help you a little more. Good luck.

Is he willing to convert and does he WANT to convert? A mixed religious relationship can work but both parties need to understand that the other person's religion is important to them. You can try to explain things to your parents but ultimately you'll need to decide what YOU want to do. I don't think you should let religion come between you two, especially since you're having a baby.
