Get a rectal palpation done on her. Or you can also get a blood-test done on her too.

I would also watch for signs of estrus. If she's not going into heat every 17 to 24 days, then she's settled. However, occasionally (but rarely) some heifers or cows may go through a false-heat period during pregnancy that may occur once or twice, but most commonly only once. If she doesn't go back into heat after this false estrus, then it's likely she's bred. But the best way to confirm that she is indeed bred, get her palpated or have a blood-test done on her to make sure.
