Poor Snooki Jr. — not just because his/her mother is Snooki, but also because she insists on wearing shoes that are difficult to remain upright in. As if it wasn't bumpy enough in there!

The 24-year-old Jersey Shore star/soon-to-be mom took a(nother) tumble recently while shopping at New Jersey's Shore Store — wearing leopard-print wedges that even the Spice Girls circa their Spiceworld tour would've nixed. Oh, and a matching leopard-print purse (and some other characteristically interesting fashion choices)!

Snooki (aka Nicole Polizzi) and fiance Jionni LaValle are expecting their first child in August. Check out the very pregnant star below attempting, in vain, to stay on her feet, followed by — bonus! — a look back at her tumble from earlier this month. See, we told you the end of the world is near.
