If you are uncomfortable then avoid. Ask someone, who is attending, to inform you are inconvenient to attend if you feel need to inform. If really no choice have to attend, put a red packet with some pomegranate(石榴叶) leaves or grapefruit (柚子叶)leaves in your pocket; and avoid the food provided. The traditional way is to tie a red cloth around the tummy but the other party will likely feel offended unless they know you are pregnant and understanding. Another way is you may consider to ask your hubby to go on your behalf.

I tried to upload photo but it’s not showing... I think my house planting it. Will bring some if it really happening...

If it’s own relative I think it’s okay. Just take necessary precautions to deal with the superstition

Thicker type, like those tie on lunar new year decorations. Still think can avoid is the best unless is very close relationship. In fact, is good excuse now due to the pandemic.
