Jenni 'JWoww' Farley has claimed she ''blacked out'' when she was giving birth to her daughter.

The former 'Jersey Shore' star - who was induced 39 weeks into her pregnancy - admits her labour was ''way more painful'' than she expected but she was overcome with emotion when Meilani entered the world on July 13.

Speaking to In Touch magazine, she said: ''I blacked out [during my labour]. I thought I was going to die.''

However, the brunette beauty managed to put the painful experience behind her when she locked eyes on her daughter's adorable face for the first time.

She explained: ''I just cried [when she was born]. She was so beautiful.''

The reality TV star's best pal Snooki, who is also expecting a baby girl later this year, has been spoiling the tiny tot ''rotten'' after being named as her godmother.

Jenni also revealed how much of a support Snooki - who has two-year-old son Lorenzo with her fiancé Jionni LaValle - had been throughout her pregnancy.

The 28-year-old star announced the birth of Meilani - whom she has with her fiancé Roger Matthews - on her Twitter account two days after her arrival.

She tweeted at the time: ''Our baby's first breath took ours away...So blessed!!!

''Mommy and daddy haven't slept because we can't stop staring at our baby, Meilani! I don't ever want to put her down to use my phone! Lol (sic).''
