Thanks for the comments and info. I noticed my Xiphoid process while laying down. It freaked me out!? However, I can see I am not alone. I feel fine otherwise. I am VERY vigilant with my health especially at 41 and getting older.
Good health and wishes to all!
I have the EXACT same thing post partum and it scares me!! Did you find out the cause?
it's perfectly normal. It's called the xiphoid process or xiphoid bone. As you get older the soft cartilage turns into a hard bone. If you ever debone a backed chicken, you get see it where the breast bones meet in the front. Mine is visible when lying down, with some people it sticks out more. When I lost weight, I noticed it more, so perhaps with the pregnancy, it didn't show as much. I also was worried when I discovered after losing the weight!
take care and enjoy motherhood, Laura
p.s. some people get stomach aches from taking Wellbutrin, it's a known side effect. Wellbutrin is an SNRI and I found I reacted badly to these with anxiousness and gut pain. I haven't found much that works for depression but have given up on these meds because of their side effects. I find a good pyschologist who practices Cognitive Behaviour Therapy got rid of the anxiety, along with giving up coffee!
