No and no. And if your God is, find another God.

No, God is not trying to "punish" you by giving you a baby. I'm going to guess that you are not married. If that's the case then God is just reminding you that while we have the freedom to make choices in this life, there are consequences to the choices we make.
Love your baby, for it is the will of God for parents to love their children and to teach them His ways, and to pass on to them what happens when a person leans unto their own understanding instead of acknowledging the Lord in all that they do.

Babies are blessings, never punishments.
Most of the problems we deal with in this life are direct results of our own lapses in moral judgement. I take it you wished to have sex but not leave the act open to the possibility of procreation?
God is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE. No matter what measures some of us are bound to take to keep procreation from happening, it's not in our hands at all. It's all in God's hands. With that in mind, there is no such thing as an "accidental pregnancy". That is why all babies are considered blessings. God willed this child into being.
If you love this child then, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it's conception, you are doing right by the child.

God doesn't punish people. He allows things to happen to them, logical and/or inevitable conclusions to their choices. It's how we deal with the consequences of our actions that God judges. So, if you get pregnant when you didn't want to, and you love that baby, then far from being defiant to God, you are showing Him that you can make something good out of your mistakes. I think He would be pleased.

How on earth you can ever think of a baby as a punishment. Babies are gift from God. You just opened your gift too early : )

The point of having sex is to create a child. It's not punishment but a lovely gift. You make your own choices and you are smart enough to know the consequences. You have th ability to choose right from wrong. If you love your child you are doing what God intended you to do. I suggest you read the new testament and learn more about Jesus' love.

Not necessarily to both questions. The baby could be a gift to you from God. Remember, God is love. We show 'love' by what we give to others. Do others want the 'love' we show to them presently?

Wow!!Congratulations, first off. No God is not punishing you but giving you the greatest gift of all. Cherish this gift because you are responsible and trust God to help you along the way. Peace to you.

A baby is a blessing from God. Consider yourself loved.

A baby is the natural outcome of having unprotected sex.
Just be happy that you have created life and not contracted an STD that could kill you.
As for the God thing,I can't answer that.I'm an atheist.

Sounds to me like you need to smarten up and make intelligent choices. One would be to not get pregnant until you are ready financially and knowledgeably and spiritually ready to be a parent. Being married so the baby has a secure family is good too! Your question sounds like a silly little teenager!
