A new mum has told of her devastation - after only one of her colleagues congratulated her on the birth of her baby. She has taken to popular forum Mumsnet to express her sadness.
The child is now four-months-old - and the mum is still awaiting messages from most of her workmates. According to the Mirror, she captioned her Mumsnet post: "No congratulations on my birth."
She explained: "I've had only one message from a work colleague congratulating me. My baby is four months. Most knew I was pregnant.

"I'm not really saying that everyone should be fussing over me and cooing over my baby. I think I would have just appreciated a few messages just saying 'congratulations, hope you're OK'.
"I think what hurts more is that two of my work colleagues who I thought I was particularly close to haven't even bothered to message me at all. They have messaged others who have had babies but not me.
Seeking advice, she questioned: "Am I being unreasonable or is it just life get over it?" One person replied: "That's rubbish. Could it be that they're waiting for you to initiate contact because they don't want to disturb you? Have you sent a photo etc?"
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: "As work colleagues we would maybe send a card from us all. I wouldn't contact a work colleague to congratulate them though."
