  • Actor Fattah Amin is eagerly awaiting the birth of his first child with wife Amira Othman, who is in her final month of pregnancy.
  • The couple has completed all necessary preparations for the baby's arrival and has chosen to keep the baby's gender a secret for now.
  • Fattah admits to feeling nervous about becoming a father again, emphasizing his desire to share the pregnancy journey fully with Amira.

Malaysian actor Fattah Amin is in a state of anticipation as he counts down the days to the birth of his first child with wife, singer Amira Othman. Amira is reportedly due mid-to-late this month and is currently resting at home to ensure her health and the baby's well-being.

Now we are truly waiting for the day. If it follows the schedule, Amira is expected to give birth in the middle or end of this month. If she were to attend this event, she would have come with me. But because we are worried about her condition as she is counting down the days now, she is just resting at home.

โ€” Fattah AminExplaining Amira Othman's absence from an event due to her advanced pregnancy.

Fattah shared that all preparations for the baby's arrival are complete, and they are now simply waiting for the moment to head to the hospital. While the couple knows the baby's gender, they plan to announce it on social media after the birth. He mentioned that some baby items are already in the car, ready to go.

Alhamdulillah, everything has been prepared. For example, the necessities for the baby, baby items, and Amira's own needs. Everything has been prepared. Now we are just waiting for the time. Some of it is already in the car. For both of us, we already know the baby's gender. But we will announce it after the baby is born on social media.

โ€” Fattah AminDetailing the preparations for the baby's arrival and their decision on gender announcement.

Despite having experienced fatherhood before, Fattah admits to feeling nervous about the upcoming birth. He explained that each pregnancy and birth is a unique experience, and he is unsure how they will manage everything. He shared that Amira's occasional discomfort or signs of labor cause him to worry and panic, prompting them to consult their doctor.

I am actually quite nervous because we don't know what will happen, as everyone has a different experience. So for Amira, I'm not sure yet how we will manage all of this. Sometimes when Amira feels something or there are certain signs, I immediately worry and panic. Then we will consult the doctor.

โ€” Fattah AminExpressing his nervousness about becoming a father again.

Fattah is committed to fully experiencing this significant life event with Amira. He stated that they share all information, whether from the internet or their doctor, and attend all prenatal check-ups together. He believes the pregnancy journey is as much for the father as it is for the mother. Following the baby's birth, Fattah plans to limit his work commitments, prioritizing family by taking on projects closer to Kuala Lumpur.

Actually, we share all information together. If there is any information we find on the internet or that the doctor tells us, we will share it with each other. We go together for every pregnancy check-up. So we are going through this experience together. For me, the pregnancy moment is not just for the mother who is pregnant, but also for a father. So we are waiting for the day and going through all these experiences together. We just pray that everything goes smoothly, the baby is healthy, and everything is in good condition.

โ€” Fattah AminDescribing how he and Amira are experiencing the pregnancy journey together.
