 My friend was in exactly your situation, her boyfriend refused to tell them (and they both lived in the same town). In the end, her parents bumped into his parents on her DUE DATE, and had to let them know. The baby arrived 2 days later and although her boyfriend shows no interest his parents are very supportive.
Your boyfriend is being immature about this. You need to tell him to grow up. By not telling his parents he's basically pretending that your baby isn't real, that he isn't going to be a dad.
The truth is going to come out eventually, you can't keep a baby a secret for long :)

 Hi
Obviously if his parents lived nearby they would have seen your growing pregnancy/ Baby would be well advanced by now and be growing strng.
Do his parents live in another state or overseas? Do you have the utrasound pictures? I'd give him a couple of copies of that - hand it to him and say these extra photos are for your Mom and Dad.
If he will not stand by you at least your BabyBonus in yout country will come in handy for all that you will need.
Right now if he is being a jerk then make your own plans for Baby Delivery classes and regular visits to the Doctor along with all the good advice the Doctor wll give to you
Best of luck for the future

 Have you asked him why he doesn't want his parents to know? Maybe your boyfriend is doing the ostrich, by sticking his head in the sand he can deny the pregnancy, by speaking out loud about it will make it more real.
If I was the grandmother to be I would like to know about the pregnancy, he really needs to tell thim, and the sooner the better, if he cant do it on his own go with him.
If he still balks, ask him how he intends being a father without his family knowing about it, tell him if he can't man up you will be better off going it alone. (And this, in Australia, is the truth!).
