Pregnancy Unknown

hi, Dr, or OBGYN
i think my girl friend may have been pregnant before. She swears she was not before.
Is there any way to know?
Comments:
Several ppl said she has large breast like a women who gave birth.
my notes,
discomfort during intimacy,
frequent urination,
fatigue,
mood swings, cries often, irritabilty
poor posture and gait,
rather hunched shoulder, wide feet, buttocks appear rather out of shape,
also saggy breasts.
she is bit over weight, but especially her shape or form seems older than her age (22),  even though she has lost weight, her shape is not so good.
also she has a bit uneven overlap on tummy, but no major stretch marks or scars.
many small varicose veins on thighs, (believe it called spider)
As i can tell she has not been pregnant for the last six months, ( though I may be wrong)
Thanks

Urogynecology is specifically about prolapse and not the issues you mention.  You may wish to re direct you question to the womens health forum.  

Your observations about your girlfreind seem very negative indeed herbyy and I wonder why you are interested in whether she has been pregnant or not.  Some of the symptoms you mention could be due to many things including hormonal, but most of all your girlfreind will need support therefore I wonder if you could encourage her to go to her GP for support with any health issues she has.  

Perhaps in the mean time you could offer your girlfreind the compassion she deserves.

If your girlfreind gets upset or tearful again, offer compasion and maybe offer to go with her to the Drs office if she would like to go.  
Other than that all you can do is support and reasure her when she is down.
This may feel frustrating at times but she is the only person who can make any changes and like she says, she may truly feel she is fine  At that point you have a choice of accepting her as she is or considering your own position as partner.

Your concern for your girfriend could be read by her as non acceptance or you wanting to change her.  She may read this as criticism and entrench in her position.  It isnt always what we say but the way we say things.  Consider your approach to sensitive matters and ask yourself if you would be ok with your partner suggesting you make changes in the way you are.  Read it in your head first as though you were saying it to yourself before you say it to her.

Acceptance is key in all relationships.  I wish you well and hope this helps
