taking your age in cosideration first... you should try to finish your PhD early, as soon as possible. This is the right time for giving birth to a healthy baby.....without putting urself in any more risks. And as far as chemicals are concerned, i am sure... being experienced phd student u know better how to handle those hazardious chemicals and how to protect ur self from them.
But i still feel you should finish early and give your entire time in planning your kid, after all phd is not all you have in life.... you can hold it upto maximum 1 year not more than that.... its advisable (in my view)..!

Being a phd student i feel all of us come across similar kind of problems and i thought this forum & studnets around here can help me out with their suggestions. It was my mistake to think that way. I did not post this topic to get insulted or give a chance to anyone here to insult my people. Pls dont post anything here. Thanks for writing and best of luck to u all for ur research. have great day!

and wht i think is... u got to learn this.....Fresher in research or what?.....start practising from today..boy!!!!
