I have a 7 month old female GSP that is just finishing her first heat. Her nipples are very pronouced right now. Is that a hormonal change or does that mean she is pregnant?

How can you tell if a female is pregnant.? Her weight is exactly the same as when she started heat

There nipples do get bigger when they come in heat, especially for the first time.  Was your girl around any males?  You sound like maybe you mght have an oops breeding.  The nipples are not necessarily a good indicator that your dog is pregnant.

Sounds like you may want to make a visit to your vet. Get them to check her out thoroughly, including doing vaginal smears. If you do have a 7 month old bitch in whelp, you do have several alternatives.

Next time she's in season, keep her in a crate or otherwise confined unless you are with her ALL the time. Boys are pretty darned persistent when it comes to bitches in standing season.

I also know that large nipples can occur with false pregnancy's we had one happen with our lab after her first heat but the nipples were also rock hard.
