Snooki says that "everyone will be surprised" at what an amazing mother she is going to be.

The 24-year-old Jersey Shore star, real name Nicole Polizzi, announced in March that she is expecting her first child with fianc Jionni LaValle.

And she tells V's Americana issue that despite her former partying lifestyle, she is ready to become a parent.

"I can't wait to meet my kid!" Snooki gushed. "Everyone will be surprised to see a different side of me. I'm loving, caring, sensitive, protective and very maternal, no matter what people might think."

Snooki says that she is used to being underestimated and has been a victim of bulling her "whole life."

"I am probably the number one most-bullied celebrity," she said. "I really don't go with trends, I don't try to fit in like everyone else does in Hollywood. I just like to be different and I don't care."

The reality star added that he is already coming up with business ideas to make the most out of the next phase of her life.

"My ideas are endless," Snooki revealed. "Who wouldn't want a leopard-print rattle or a cheetah-print bib?"
