Not wanting to host a friend long term while pregnant.... selfish?

Hi fellow Mumsnetters,
DH and I are planning to conceive next month. Yesterday a couple of good friends came to visit from abroad. They told us they are planning to relocate to the UK this year and asked if we can host them until they decide where to live/find a new accommodation.
Now, despite being good friends, they are a complete nightmare to live with. Super messy, chaotic, very different lifestyle (musicians etc), and I just can't bring myself to promise a long term arrangement (couple of months and more) if I am planning to try for a baby. Tomorrow I am seeing them and I have decided to settle on 2 weeks max. Is this selfish do you think? :(

Even if they were perfect guests I'd say no. Just say sorry it can't be done. Don't have them at all. Giving them two weeks max would be harder than saying no. Because they've got a foot in the door and won't leave if they have nowhere else to stay. If you say no to any overnight stays then they'll have to find an alternative.
