Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Planned Parenthood offers free services like this for women. If you and your friend head down there, it is completely confidential and they will check your friend for pregnancy and STD's.
She's obviously not being safe though. She is putting herself at risk by sleeping with multiple people & not using protection. If she cannot care for herself or have enough self respect to take care of herself, then she cannot do the same for a child.
Get your friend down to Planned Parenthood, and maybe someone there can smack some sense into her while also helping her with her promiscuity issues.

You have good reason to be concerned for your friend- having unprotected sex with multiple partners puts her at risk for not only getting pregnant, but contracting STD's. She is being irresponsible, and is clearly in no shape to have a baby any time soon. For one thing, she lives with you at your parents house- she is still dependent on your parents to put a roof over her head, and I'm assuming since she doesn't live with her own parents, they are out of the picture. Second, she is only 19, and if she cannot take care of herself and her own sexual health, then she certainly cannot properly take care of and raise a baby.
That said, just like the columnist below mentioned, there is no way for anyone to tell if she is pregnant. She should be concerned about possibly being pregnant, and having possibly contracted an STD. For those reasons, it is best for her to make an appointment at a local Planned Parenthood clinic- for little to no cost, she can find out if she's pregnant, get screened for STD's, and speak to a nurse regarding birth control and sexual health/issues. She absolutely needs to do all of the above.
She is your best friend, so it should not be impossible for you to raise these issues with her. In private, just calmly explain to her that you are concerned about her health and well being, since you think she has had unprotected sex with multiple partners. Let her know that you strongly suggest she go to planned parenthood or other clinic to get a pregnancy test, and get screened for STD's- because really, you never do know. Let her know that you are care about her, and will be there for her, as her best friend. You should definitely offer to go with her to the clinic, to show support. Hope it all works out for the best.

In order to do an online pregnancy test, you need to get your friend to pee on your keyboard first. Then we can work our magic.

No, seriously, there's no way for us to tell.
If your friend might be pregnant, then she can take a home pregnancy test. It's a lot cheaper than a doctor's visit (about 8 bucks, or you can sometimes get them at dollar stores). If she can't afford the 8 bucks, then she's got bigger problems if she is pregnant.
