Finally manged to download the Vancouver antenatal guidelines (was worried about missing the amnio window when I got there).

For booking in, you have to undergo a full physical with a thorough exam of breasts and nipples as well as a thorough vaginal with cervical smear. Ooh, makes my stomach turn....

All seems a bit invasive and unecessary - is anyone able to shed any light on what goes on here?

No...they don't do that here in the UK thank God. Agree sounds horrible and don't understand why necessary.
