She told Serbian TV she and her 53-year-old husband were hoping for a son. Her doctors have labeled her pregnancy "extraordinary."

"We would prefer a son to inherit the land, someone no one would order around through life," she said.

The couple first married 30 years ago and divorced, but remarried nine years ago. The husband has a daughter and two grandchildren from another marriage.
