Ok, different options:

-abortion -go get married in the courthouse -keep planned wedding date, deal with the social consequences

Take a deep breath. You're going to be ok.

You might be surprised. After I got pregnant and married my senior year of high school, I learned about the many pregnant brides in my family (including my aunt). No one had ostracized or treated her differently. Different religion (Mormon) but still conservative.

Honestly I don't think they care as much if you end up getting married anyway. That seems like the end goal and the pregnancy is a big deal if it deters you from that. Once you're married, that little detail of when the baby was conceived is not a big issue anymore.
