To be honest, the changing mat comes with my changing bag anyway and this is what I'm taking all babies things in. Its tiny and takes up no space whatsoever. Thanks though, I will check with the midwife, but I see no harm in taking it - if it makes my life easier then its worth it!
yep mine came with my change bag and folds up and is tiny so no harm in taking it! never took one last time, just going on last time....changing that first poo in the cot is very fiddly so I would rather change her on the change mat on the bed.
