I do think that in my case, the internal was probably more hand-in-hand with the Pap Smear moreso than the pregnancy as I hadn't had either for some time (naughty naughty). But he also said now that unless there is a problem, ie unexplained bleeding or whatever, where they may need to see if the cervix is dilating or if bleeding is coming from the cervix (I have a couple of erosions) or the uterus, that I won't need an internal until I AM in labour.

Thank goodness, they're not the most comfortable exam around, and especially not when you're pregnant when everything is uncomfortable in that neck of the woods anyway.
