Work and pregnancy issues

So I told a few of my work colleagues I'm pregnant this week and now it seems to of all turned in to a joke! We have a group chat in work and I'm very close to an older guy who is married with children, we're JUST friends! I love my boyfriend to pieces so I'd never ever cheat and I've looked at the group chat and this has now been said about MY unborn baby and that it is my work mates child! Baring in mind I asked these colleagues to NOT say anything because I haven't told many people yet.

What would you do in this situation and what can I do?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not very nice are they?! Realistically, all you can do is tell them to stop. While what they have said is inappropriate, it sounds like they meant it to be a joke and probably don't realise it has upset you this much. Maybe you could just say to one of them to stop and they could put a stop to it for you?

@Faifaye we can't tell you if you're pregnant, you would need to take a test. It's probably not best hijacking someone else's post about a completely off topic issue. I'd advise making your own thread in conception.

@Mk9yy I would have a strong word and drill into his head that you are uncomfortable and this cannot continue.

@Faifaye if you know this isn't the right thread then you need to follow the proper process and start your own thread, not hijack someone else's with a completely unrelated issue

@Faifaye you're going really of tangent with that comment trying to save yourself from backlash for putting a picture of your discharge on someone's post. It's not hard to start a thread.

Well they sound delightful! I've sort of been at a similar end myself and to be honest I think my other colleagues are jealous of the relationship we have. My friend is married (no children by choice) and actually the first work person I told I was pregnant. I've heard snide comments from a thankfully now previous colleague about our relationship but he's a bitter divorcee so I took that with a pinch of salt.
I'd tell them they're out of order and then just try and forget about it x
