Im a student about to have a baby with a terrified boyfriend?

I'm a 21 year od, full time college student and 27 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend's attitude toward my pregnancy has been the same since I told him (shocked, upset, scared.) From the time I told him I was pregnant he said we weren't going to keep it and even though I didn't want to get an abortion I agreed to because my mother would never forgive me (she's a minister and devout Christian) but more so for his sake. But it seemed that every time we attempted to do it something happened� to get in our way and now it's too late for that.� When I saw that it wasn't going to happen I starting trying to prepare to have the baby but he still can't except it. I know he loves me and won't leave me to do this alone but he still doesn't want to to tell anyone and I still haven't seen a doctor. Actually for the most part he doesn't talk about it and tries to act as if i'm not pregnant and it's like he doesn't understand ignoring the baby won't make it go away. His plan now is to give the baby up for adoption but I really don't want to. I know where he's coming from, our life will change. We both have like a year and a half to go till graduation and neither of us can really get help from home. He fears keeping the child will kill his chances of graduating. I'm willing to take time off till he finishes or we both can continue but he says he wants me to stay cause I'm further along. We don't live together so we're paying about $1000 per month between the two of in rent. He's already working fourty hours per week and with my cl schedule I can only work 16 per week and we're struggling financially as is. Yet I still don't want to give my baby away, I figure if we make some changes and I get a new job some how we can work it out. But then again if you talk to him you'll see that there are no good feelings toward the baby and I know what it's like growing up with a father who really didn't want you and I don't want my child growing up trying to figure out what they did to make their dad hate them. I really don't know what to do and I can't really talk to him about it because everytime I bring it p he says he can't handle it right now.
