Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms do not have to indicate pregnancy. Other issues should be also considered including partial bowels obstruction due to inflammatory bowels disease, ovarian cyst, urinary tract infection, peptic ulcer, gallstones.
As it lasts for 2 weeks, she should not wait any longer. She should consult her doctor and have proper diagnostics. Blood work, urine analysis, abdominal ultrasound and abdominal x-ray should be done at first. If she has any loose stools, blood in stool, mucus in stool, also stool tests should be done and colonoscopy considered.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
