Some good advice above, but here's my take:
Be as calm and as confident as possible when talking to your parents. Be mature in your discussion and do your best to prove to them that you are a responsible, rational adult and can handle this situation. Reitterate to your parents that you (and your fiance) are in complete control of the situation, but you would appreciate their love and support. This can be the defining moment where your parents stop treating you as a child but accept you as an individual and an adult. The minute you start to break down and get emotional, or agitated, your parents will see you as incapable of handling this situation, and it will take much more convinvcing later on to sway them back to your side. If your fiance is strong and supportive and gives you strength and conviction, bring her along. If she's more likely to break down and become emotional in front of your parents, leave her out of the first encounter.
Second topic: My wife and I were told by our OBGYN that sex was perfectly OK and normal throughout the entire pregnancy, and believe me, we did! You cannot harm the baby in any way by having "normal" sex, all the way up to the last days of the pregnancy. Their may be some days where your fiance doesn't feel physically or emotionally up to having sex, and don't force her, this is perfectly natural. Moods swings of all sorts are natural thorughout the entire pregnancy, and even the months following the birth, so be strong and supportive.
This can be (and should be) a great experience, so do the right thing by keeping your fiance and yourself happy and healthy, and push aside the negative that may or may not come your way.
Good luck and congrats!
