I was told that they stopped attaching the drains. I had them in 2012 and I didn't know they are not supposed to come out lower down and not straight under the armpit so panicked thinking I pulled them out by mistake and a district nurse had to come to put my mind at ease!

It's good you found a way to sleep in a comfortable position.

Thank you for the advice. Can you suggest me which kind of pillow is good at the time of pregnancy? Whether it will be C-shaped or U-shaped?
