'It was hell': Snooki brands pregnancy 'disgusting'... but motherhood is 'awesome'

PUBLISHED: 17:51 EST, 9 April 2013 | UPDATED: 01:51 EST, 10 April 2013

She's embraced motherhood with gusto, but Snooki has no fond memories of her first pregnancy.

When asked by TMZ on Tuesday what was surprising about becoming a mother, Nicole Polizzi revealed: ‘I wouldn’t say motherhood. I would say pregnancy because everybody makes it so glamorous and cute but it’s hell.’

Fierce young mother: Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi arrived to Los Angeles on Monday wearing a feisty all-black ensemble, which revealed the weight loss she fully credits to her son Lorenzo

The 25-year-old drove her point home and said: ‘It’s disgusting, I hate it but the reward is awesome.’

Despite her ill will toward pregnancy itself, her son, whom she had with fiancé Jionni LaValle, is the light of her life, as endless pictures of Lorenzo on her Celebuzz blog indicates.

In fact, the Jersey Shore star credits her baby for her incredible 42-lb weight loss, which has left her looking better than ever.

‘I’m a mom now, so I feel like that just changes you. Lorenzo made me prettier and he made me lose weight,’ she said.

But would the budding entrepreneur be ready to lose her svelte figure for another baby?

‘I want one right now but it’s just not the right time,’ she told TMZ. ‘I want to try to plan this one.

She clarified that the idea of weight gain doesn’t scare her, though.

‘It’s not that. I need a house first. I still live in Jionni’s parents’ basement.’

The reality star should be working her way to a home of her own, though, as the budding entrepreneur is set to launch clothing and sunglasses lines, in addition to her nail polishes, headphones and tanning products.

My pregnancy was easy I didnt have morning sickness, I just gain massive weight. The delivery was hell because i had an emergency c-section. But motherhood is everything to me. My litle girl brings massive joy to my world. So pregnancy is different for everyone.

I think this article, the American media and the general population speaks for itself.

Her mouth is horrible, and whatever she had done to her teeth makes it look even worse. I don't think she should smile, it is horrible, looks like a rodent
