PREGNANT?
Baby fever has swept over Snooki and her fans after the star sparked pregnancy rumors.

Most recently, Snooki uploaded a photo with her daughter Giovanna, 9, after a cheerleading competition.
Giovanna wore a bedazzled cheer uniform and a varsity jacket on top.
Snooki donned a casual look, but stood behind her daughter with her arms on her shoulder, hiding her body and stomach from view.
Snooki married Jionni LaValle in 2014 and the pair share three children, Lorenzo Dominic, Angelo James and Giovanna Marie.
PIZZA CLUES
Before that, Snooki appeared alongside co-star and BFF, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, 37, for a pizza advert.
A clip with their kids was uploaded on Snooki's Instagram, but fans noticed the star was wearing a huge oversized sweater that again hid her stomach from view.
"Is she pregnant? Did I miss something?" someone asked in the comments.
