(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Snooki is reportedly prepared to broadcast her labour on TV.

The 24-year-old reality star and her fianc Jionni LaValle welcomed their first son Lorenzo Dominic over the weekend.

There were apparently cameramen on location in the hospital throughout the event.

"There was a camera crew from 495 Productions, which produces Snooki & JWOWW, and they were in Snooki's hospital room in the hours leading up to her birth," a source told Radar Online.

"Viewers will see Snooki in labour and the camera crew was kicked out as she was about to give birth. However, Snooki's fiance, Jionni LaValle, was using a personal camcorder and he carried on filming.

"Jionni only filmed at Snooki's head though so viewers will most likely see very little footage of the actual birth. Lorenzo was ready for his proud parents to show him off to the world and was filmed hours after the birth. It was done very tastefully and with respect to Snooki and other patients at the New Jersey hospital."

Lorenzo Dominic entered the world weighing a healthy 6lbs, 5oz. (C) Cover Media
