Hey I know they take your pulse to see how healthy you are on an overall scale and a few other heath conditions including blockages and other stuff. BUT I have never heard of seeing weather you are pregnant or not :) Oh how easy it would be for us all if we could just take our pulse every month....LOL

I would like to know though if this is possible I will ask my naturapath next week and you should ask this friend of yours too!!!!!

hey this is what i found on google
During pregnancy the increasing needs of the growing fetus and of her own tissues throw an added burden on the mother's heart (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9039718/heart). The work that the heart does is measured by the amount of blood it expels per minute (the cardiac output (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9000636/cardiac-output)). Rapid increase in the cardiac output occurs between the 9th and the 14th week of gestation.
During pregnancy your pulse rate goes up due to an increase in blood volume and an increase in metabolic rate. A normal pulse rate in a non-pregnant person is (roughly) 70-100 beats per minute.
hope that helps, my resting pulse is normally bout 92 so i guess it would vary for every one
