Always read the labels - to be honest I think things like Nytol and stuff aren't suitable for pregnant / breastfeeding women.

You want to see your Dr about your trapped nerve though, the Dr may be bale to do something to help.

I am not sleeping great myself. I go to bed shattered - take a while to nod off then wake up at least 3 times for a wee.... I guess I am jsut getting into practice for having zero sleep when bub arrives

I'd pop to your see your gp so you can feel a bit more confident in what you're taking tbh

My nytol said no to pregnant women, sciatica is horrid, spent too many months suffering, spent a year doing yoga once a week til I got pregnant, no sciatica since, so would really recommend that when you get settled with baby. Not sure what to suggest to help sleep but I found it comfy being on my side with pillow between legs and keep turning over to other side to keep back active, gentle stretches in morning before getting up, basic back stretches through the day to help strengthen and hopefully break the sciatica problem to help you sleep better, really feel for you xx
