Aibu to message my friend?

My best friend went into labour 5 days ago messaged me to say it was all happening, very exciting, she was about to go into hospital etc etc... we have been through thick and thin together and besties since we were little.
It's now 5 days on and I still haven't heard anything more. I have messaged her, but she hasn't read my message (it has been received). I'm really worried about her/baby.
Aibu to consider messaging her family members to check everything is ok? The more time passes, the more worried I am. It's just so unlike her to not message... 😢

Sorry title is wrong! Should say 'message my friend's family'!

Obviously the OP is not going to be top priority when she’s just had a baby and is extremely ill 😪

But that's literally what she said? Not sure how she's missing the point 🤦🏼‍♀️

Okay 👏

Hello - a happy update 🎉 🎉 🎉 Thankfully everything is now fine and both my wonderful friend and beautiful new baby are doing well ❤️ They are both home! Sorry I didn't update sooner - I've been at work.

It turns out that baby was born quickly after she messaged me, totally ok etc... but my friend took a turn and was very poorly. I won't go into details as it's not my story to share, but she was in hospital for a week and too poorly to message. She didn't even pick up her phone until she got home as it ran out of battery and she didn't bother charging it, because she understandably wasn't with it ❤️‍🩹

She even apologised for not getting in touch sooner - I of course told her not to be silly and I was just grateful she is fine!! I didn't tell her that I was starting to fear the worst ❤️ But hopefully she's going to go from strength to strength now. 💕 Thanks everyone.

Bubba is super cute and I can't wait for cuddles!!!
... I'm still don't think that I'll be getting my friends husbands numbers 'just incase' though 😂 😂 thanks mumsnet! X

Good news, I hope she’s okay. It sounds like she had a very tough time
