Pregnancy announcement, sad about colleagues reactions

[AnOverthinkerr]

Or lack of! I've been signed off work with hg for months, I imagine most of them spoke between themselves and are aware that's why I've been off. I've not had any messages which I tried not to get upset about as I'm not at work maybe they didn't want to reach out, ok. I put a picture up on Facebook a couple of days ago however announcing the pregnancy now I'm half way and not a single person from work has so much as liked it, let alone commented or sent a message. My sickness has started to subside these last couple of weeks and I was hoping to go back to work in a week or so if it carries on getting better, but now I just feel really anxious about it, like all of my colleagues either don't like me that much or are annoyed about how much time I've missed. I feel so scared at the thought of going back now. Am I overthinking it or would it upset you to have every single person you work with ignore such a thing. I just feel like it can't be a coincidence

Unless they are a close personal friend, no way would I comment. Or indeed look for comments from work colleagues. Then again I wouldn't use social media outside my friends

No I wouldn’t be upset but I’m struggling infertility & wouldn’t want the fuss knowing they might be struggling with their own stories.

Plus, when someone’s sick I wouldn’t want to bother them as a work mate as I wouldn’t want them to think about work at all.

They might be pissed off if your absence has created more work for them.

To them you’ve been off sick for weeks and then post a scan photo on Facebook.

Not sure what you expected online but they might say congrats in person when you return.
