JAKARTA - Happiness is enveloping the heart of the dancer Zaskia Gotik and her husband, Sirajuddin Mahmud after the birth of their third son. The baby, who was born weighing 3.7 kilograms and a length of 50 cm, was named Prince Aflah Zaidan.

"My son's name is Prince Aflah Zaidan. It means Aflah, tough, lucky. Because this is a dream child, girl 3, I want a guy, Alhamdulillah, God willing. Hopefully, a pious child will be born normally, weighing 3.7, long 50," said Zaskia Gotik in the Permata Hijau area, South Jakarta, Wednesday, April 9.

Initially, Zaskia had planned to undergo a IVF program to get boys, but the plan changed naturally.

"Yes (originally planning a IVF), a week before I tested positive for pregnancy, I was already consulted 'how can I want a program, boy, can't I. Anything'. Doctors say that must be accurate, 90 percent are IVF," he said.

Unexpectedly, just a week after the consultation, Zaskia was declared pregnant naturally.

"Well, a week later I tested positive for pregnancy. I said 'how can I be positive, can I still program (the IVF program)?', 'Can't you just form it'," said Zaskia Gotik.

She had a chance to talk with her husband about the possibility of her third child returning to be a girl.

"I said husband, 'how about girls again?', 'yes, thank God, what's important is healthy'. Thank God Allah for giving boys, no need for programs, come out who God has given them," he explained.

After being blessed with three children, Zaskia implies the possibility to quit, but the final decision is still being discussed with her husband.

"I want him (to stop having more children), that's not it. Abang said 'later'. Yes, just do it," he concluded.
