 Have you tried just straight out telling him? He sounds like a good and noble boyfriend to stand by you whatever happens but do be aware that a lot of people say that and then disappear. Ultimately if you choose to have this baby you need to deal with the possibility that you might have to do it alone. Talk to the boyfriend, find out exactly where he's at. You trusted him enough to have sex with him, now prove that trust by talking honestly with him.

 If your boyfriend has already said that he would be there for you with whatever you do, he has already expressed his willingness to help out--it may just be that he is unsure of what you want and need from him.
Sit down and have a frank discussion with him. Tell him what kind of support you need and what you want to happen with the relationship and child. I am sure he is just as afraid and unsure of himself in this situation as you must be at times. Open communication can make things much less frustrating and unsatisfying for both of you.
Best of luck.
