First pregnancy after placing

Did anyone have a hard time dealing with their first wanted pregnancy after placing for adoption?

I have a great open adoption and my son will be 4 this Oct. The aparents have been wonderful and supportive and can't wait to meet thier sons half-sibling.

My problem is my paretns. I was adopted when I was a baby and had a wonderful life growing up. But when I told my parents I was pregnant they wanted me to have an abortion.
At the time I lived in a different city, but when I would come home to visit I wasn't allowed to leave the house because they didn't want anybody to see me. All they were worried about was what their friends would think.

So nobody in our family knows about this. Now that I am getting married and actually happy to be having a baby, I don't want them to have any part in it at all. I am almost 6 months and haven't even told them yet.

Am I wrong? The way I see it, is they had plenty of chances with my first pregnancy to be supportive of me. They didn't even call me at the hospital when I gave birth to see if I was ok.
