No, Pelosi never advocated or pushed for impeachment of Trump, not before and not after the Dems took the House. She didn't back the early impeachment petitions and always stated that it was premature to go there.
Now that she's Speaker of the House, she's trying to tamper some of her caucus and her recent statement was more strongly worded.
Pelosi has been consistent in her view that impeachment should be avoided unless a President does something so blatantly threatening to the country that there's no alternative. She made it clear publicly that she didn't back calls for impeachment of George W. Bush over the Iraq lies and corruption when other Dems were pushing for it and she won't support impeachment of Trump unless there's evidence of even worse on Trump's part.
