Tell them straight up. This might end in a fight, but hopefully your family will be supportive about it. Don't be mad if it doesn't end well.

There's no right or wrong way to do this. It's unfortunate they never educated you about sex or made you feel that you couldn't ask.
If you can't handle face-to-face because you expect a volatile reaction you could always write a letter for the more understanding of parents and ask them to help you.
Do you have an aunt, uncle, grandparent close to your family that has advocated for you before? You could ask them to be with you when you tell them. You could also set up a meeting with both sets of parents and do it that way. No way is easy and they may be livid but will come around and support you.

It's going to be really hard. Maybe pick the parent you are closest with and sit down and talk to them about it. Be honest. Just say you really don't know how to tell them this, but that you are pregnant. They might go off over it for a while. Just let them vent. They are probably going to be upset, but more than likely that will wear off and they will start to get excited about having a grandchild. Good luck, girl! I wish you the best :)
