Should I ask my parents to get two boosters?

Question

Hi everyone, I’m having my second baby this winter and my parents are supposed to come stay with me to help with the baby for a month.

They are relatively cautious (still mask most times indoors) but my dad sometimes does not wear a mask when he goes to church.

They are also not boosted but just double vaxxed.

What requirements should I ask my parents before they stay with us? I have an unvaccinated toddler. I have my third shot and my husband will be getting his fourth

My plan is to ask them to: Wear a mask indoors for the first 3-4 days in common areas so that I know for sure they don’t have Covid. They will have their own bedrooms and bathrooms so they don’t have to mask there

Ask that they get boosted but there’s a huge chance they won’t

Covid (Day 5) and cholestasis link?

3rd Tri

Tested positive at 34w, got monoclonal antibodies on Day 3, felt better on Day 5, but then started itching like crazy on Day 5!! Around the chest, belly, palm and butt.

Went in to get checked out today at 35w (still covid positive), and they are running some tests for the liver - unfortunately it will take 5-7 days for the bile acid tests to come back. AST just above normal range, ALT normal, elevated Alkaline Phosphatase.

Saw an older post on people having similar symptoms. Am generally healthy with normal BP, no GD, so this all came out of nowhere, and really freaking us out. Everything was going fine until COVID...

Still testing positive for covid 3 weeks later

2nd Tri

19 weeks FTM. Double vaxxed + boostered. I understand the PCR test can’t differentiate contagious cells from dead cells that still need cleaning up but has pregnancy really caused my immune system to work this slow and sluggish? Does it reflect a lot of damage done to me or something? Before I was pregnant, I avoided catching covid for almost 3 years, even in 2020 with my household catching the first strain… I’ve been feeling decent since the end of the second week of covid regardless of the lingering deep coughs and healing from the loss of smell and taste with parosmia. I had falsely tested negative twice on the orange FDA approved home tests and went to a ob/gyn follow up that found great fetal heartbeat. My anatomy scan is in 2 weeks.
