When Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi found out she was going to be a mom, her first emotions were understandably mixed. "I wanted to cry and s*** my pants," she says, specifically.

As fans of Polizzi's brand of refreshing honesty, we were psyched to talk to Snooki herself about "Baby Bumps," her well-received — and thoroughly candid — book on pregnancy.

"I tell how pregnancy really is," Polizzi tells us in an exclusive interview. "And it sucks."

Part of the reason for said suckage might have had something to do with Polizzi ditching her hard-partying past. But as many of us realize upon starting a family, it's always for the best.

"I just changed my ways, and I was ready to be a mom," says Snooki, adding that she still finds time to party in her own (much calmer) way. "I can still go dancing, but it's not like how I was partying before," she says. "It's not like [I'm] chugging vodka."

Watch the video above for more of Snooki's truthful remarks, including her comments on which of her two pregnancies was worse (and why).
