Pregnancy might be the consequences of sex, but God would not use pregnancy to punish you. Children are a blessing from God, but He also gives us His promise of peace and grace no matter what situation we've ended up in. Does that mean life will be easy? No. But it means that no matter what has happened to us, He will help us through it if we just trust Him.
I hope you will be encouraged by my testimony at the first link below. Take care.

God will not "make" you pregnant to punish you. He would allow the natural result of sex, which is pregnancy, to occur so that you learn a valuable lesson: there are consequences. It is not a punishment, because to punish is to introduce a specific consequence. In this instance, God is not "making" you pregnant- he might allow his creation to work the way it was designed to work, and you may end up pregnant. If so, he can then use that natural occurrence to teach you a lesson: Consequences are real.

No, God would not punish you like that. If you are pregnant, or become pregnant, it is because of your actions, not God's. That would be like me blaming God for my diabetes when I ate a marshmellow when I was a kid and my parents told me not to eat the marshmellow. God would not "punish" you, but remember that whatever happens, if you are a believer, He will not give you something you are not able to handle. (That is scriptural and a promise found in 1 Corinthians.) So, if you do, through you actions, become pregnant, the baby is not punishment, the baby is a blessing. Take that from a grandfather-to-be that lost his only grandson one week before he was due to be born.

No, God does not punish you. You make decisions everyday whether to sin or not. You stated that you knew premarital sex is a sin and did it anyway. If you are pregnant or got pregnant, it is not a punishment from God, rather a consequence of your actions. Read the book of Job, God only allows Satan to tempt us, not punish us. If you die in an unforgiven state, you will recieve punishment at that time. That punishment will be the eterenal seperation from God and the torture of Hell.

I think one of the evils of 'the church' is teaching girls that getting pregnant is wrong. I am a single mother and was stupid enough at the time I was pregnant to think it was a punishment but NOTHING has changed my life and made me a far better person. Every day I am SO THANKFUL that I had my son!
Anyway, isn't one of the very first commandments by this make believe deity, 'Go forth and multiply'?

God doesn't make anyone do anything. We reap what is the result of our actions. For every action there is a reaction. He tries to warn us a head of time. But if we don't heed, we pay the consequences. God is not at fault. We are. We are creatures of choice. God wants only the best for us. If we suffer he can allow us to find peace in the midst of our suffering or to learn something good from it, but he is not the reason for our suffering.

No god is love and would not do that. God gave you that comandment to protect. Not so that he could come back and make you pregnant without even having premarital sex

God works in mysterious ways, who 's to know what he does and why he does it. But I do suggest you stop having sex out of marriage if you plan to be a follower of Christ

There are consequences to sin; but a baby isn't one of them. However, the Bible says, "Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow! Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit" (Galatians 6:7-8). God has promised to forgive us if we confess our sins to Him; however, we will not be exempt from the consequences of our actions. If you continue to engage in pre-marital sex you may get pregnant, STD's, or both. The most important thing you can do is give your life to Christ tonight.
We can never be saved because of what we do; we can only be saved because of what Jesus Christ has already done for us. Let me explain.
Our greatest problem can be put in one word: sin. Sin cuts us off from God, and sin also keeps us out of heaven. But how can we get rid of our sins? We can't erase them or cause them to disappear by ourselves; we don't have the power. The only way we can get rid of our sins is for someone to come along and take them away for us.
And that is exactly what Jesus Christ did for us. We are weighed down by the burden of our sins—but Jesus took that burden upon Himself when He died on the cross for us. To put it another way, He took the punishment we deserve when He went to the cross in our place. The Bible says, "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God" (1 Peter 3:18).
What must you do? Simply believe that Christ has taken away your sins, and then receive Him into your heart and life. The Bible's promise is for you: "To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God" (John 1:12). Become God's child today by asking Christ to come into your life.

No. The only way in which you could become pregnant would be through intercourse. That's the way God established it.
