I haven't been in your situation, but I have to tell you...expect their disappointment. Give them some time after you guys drop the bomb to get acquainted with the idea. Be patient with them.
You have to realize the only reason they'll be mad is because they love you. It's tough rearing a child, tougher still to do so on a shoestring budget (assuming,since you're students). They know this, and regret that you had to deal with this at in inopportune time.
The worst part is if your respective parents each "blame" your SO. Make sure that you present a united front. It will help if they see you as a couple more than ever.
Plus, when you have this really cool little baby, you'll see quite a difference in their attitudes.
Good luck...you'll need it, but this is THE coolest thing that will ever happen to you.
