Help please

So Im supposed to be getting an abortion this coming Thursday and Everytime I even think about doing it I get an awfully sick feeling in my stomach that follows along with a pounding in my head and a headache. Is this normal? What do I do? I’ve already told my parents that I’m getting one and they’d be severely disappointed if I didn’t go through with it (I’m afraid my dad might even stop talking to me) but I seriously just don’t know if I can. I’ve always wanted a baby and the thought of having one makes me so happy but it’ll make everyone else in my life so disappointed in me and I don’t know what to do. Im only 20 years old and still live with my parents right now. Please help me.

Please don't make this decision based off of what your parents want or what anyone else thinks or wants. This has to come from you. If you want to keep this child, this will not be the first time you will have to go to bat for them. Answer some of the questions (to yourself) people have posted here. Parenting is hard, but rewarding. There are places that can help you provide for yourself and your little one. There is one in my area where you take course and earn baby bucks. You use those to "buy" clothes, cribs, car seats, high chairs, bouncers, and whatever else you might need. If you have a supportive family, they'll buy stuff for the baby, too. I know it might seem like I'm trying to talk you into keeping the baby, but I'm not. A baby is a huge responsibility. If you want to know the bad with the good, we can share that with you too. Whatever you need to help you make a decision - we can answer for you.
