Manager ignoring texts

I'm probably being a bit hormonal and please let me know if IABU.

I have been on Maternity leave 2 months now. I texted my manager when I first went off asking for a phone number/contact email for payroll as I had to give my work laptop back and everything was on there. She completely ignored my whatsapp

When I gave birth, manager said in the group that she would love for me to pop in with the baby. Since then my colleagues have been asking when I can come in (on separate conversations on Whatsapp), so I asked for everyone's availibility and messaged her aswell but again, she didn't reply. She's not even opened my Whatsapp

She has been replying in the Group to wish everyone a Merry Christmas so definitely active but just hasn't opened my conversation.

When I was working, she would read my messages straight away - of course then it would be about work so I understand she's not too fussed now but isn't it just courtesy to reply? She completely ignored both messages. It's just awkward.

She’s rude: reply to her on the group chat - hi manager I’ve message you a couple of times when you get a chance can you have a read at them please there’s some
info that I need - this should embarrass her into answering

Thanks @Kingoftheroad I put what you said into the group chat 🤣 she replied and said "so sorry I have been meaning to reply back!" Don't know why I didn't think to do that sooner

Why not actually ring her a speak to her?

Can't you give her a call?

We all used to ring her until she said it's best we Whatsapp her/text as she's in meetings most days. I rang her to ask for the payroll number and when she didn't pick up I whatsapped her
