I think you are referring to Callisto. Callisto was raped by Zeus (disguised as Artemis). When Artemis discovered she was pregnant, she banished her from the Hunt since only virgins can be with her. This allowed Hera to turn her into a bear.

Who did Artemis turn into a bear when she discovered she was pregnant?

I have never heard of a Greek myth that retells such a happening; Artemis was associated with bears and the birth of a child/young animal. This might be a confusion over the raising of Atalanta who was suckled by a bear and was the favorite of Artemis.


Who was the girl turned into a bear by Artemis?

Callisto. Callisto was one of Artemis' virgin followers. However, she was raped by Zeus disguised as Artemis. When Artemis discovered that Callisto was pregnant, she cast her out of her Hunt. After giving birth, she was turned into a bear by Artemis or Hera or maybe even a calibration of the two. One account says that Hera turned her into a bear and sent her in Artemis' path. Before Artemis killed the bear, Zeus made her a constellation. Another says that she was made a constellation before her son could kill her.
