to not know what to do (texting etiquette)

[audreyroberts]

Hi
Just wondered how you would play this one.

I am friendly with a collegue from work, known for a long time - went to her wedding etc. She was v supportive of me when i had a break up.

She has had first baby 4 weeks ago- got text to announce arrival. I have texted her a few times since and no reply. I just assumed busy. I text the other day to see if it was ok if I dropped of a pressie - again no reply.

Asked round at work to see if she has changed number - people seem to think not. She actually went into work with baby the last week - but on a day I dont work. So i know all is well.

So text her number - with message - just what to check is this still ur number - again no reply.

Not sure what to do now.

Is she ignoring my texts or not getting them etc.

Sillyworriedmama - I am on mumsnet - I am a mum - I have had 2 babies I do know what it is like.

well - no offence, but not all births are the same :) It's not an insult, it's just fact! Not one of my friends/sisters/colleagues etc have had the same experience. When I said it's not about you I meant that was a good thing, not a 'get over yourself' thing. Sorry, sometimes tone doesn't come across well in writing... I just mean don't worry, I think if you'd insulted/offended her you would know why, and as you don't have a clue it's safe to assume you haven't.

Does she not answer her phone if you ring?
