I'm sorry what he said hurt your feelings. Let him know that. Going to HR that's a bit much especially when you know he meant no harm.

That is harassment! I was just teaching my clients about various forms of harassment and we discussed commenting on pregnant women. Please talk to HR, you should not be subjected to such ignorance; joking or not!!!

Men! I'm sure he didn't mean to upset you. Men can be so insensitive sometimes, Id let it go he'd feel awful if he knew he'd upset you. Guys at my work say stupid sh$t all the time. They just don't think before they talk x x

Completely inappropriate for him to say that! You should speak to HR about that.
