Netflix star Emily Miller says she got pregnant after using the 'spray and pray' method

Netflix star Emily Miller says she got pregnant after using the 'spray and pray' method

The NHS would certainly NOT recommend this method of parenting prevention

Too Hot to Handle fans were over the moon earlier this week to discover that former contestants Emily Miller and Cam Holmes are expecting their first child together.

The loved-up parents-to-be shared the news on Instagram on Monday with a series of tear-jerking snaps.

"Baby Miller-Holmes. Due June 2024," they jointly captioned the sweet announcement, which has since accumulated over 1,200,000 likes from fans.

Whilst one snap shows a series of ultrasound pictures, another sees Cam holding Emily's blossoming baby bump.

Following the heart-warming news, TV stars Emily and Cam have answered many of the hundreds of questions that fans have had about their pregnancy.

In amongst those questions, were whether the couple had planned to welcome a little one together, and if they'd used contraception beforehand.

It was then that social media model Emily candidly admitted that she had become pregnant unexpectedly, after using the 'spray and pray' method.

For those of you (much like myself before writing this story) who aren't familiar with this mode of pregnancy prevention, get yourselves strapped in for another not so educational sex education session.

It turns out that the 'spray and pray' method is also known as just pulling out, which isn't known to be a particularly effective form of contraception.

The 16-week pregnant star told her 1.9 million Instagram followers: "We were not actively trying, although I wasn’t on contraception.

"I haven’t been on contraception since I was 16. We just used the 'spray and pray' technique."

The clue is in the name for this questionable contraception, being that it means the man pulling his penis out of the woman's vagina before ejaculating - instead, opting to do so outside of his partner, in an attempt to prevent pregnancy.

Don't say we didn't warn you!

Emily revealed her pregnancy was unplanned.

Anyway, according to the NHS, the 'spray and pray' method is definitely not a sure-fire means of preventing parenthood, being that fluid with sperm in it still leaks from the penis before ejaculation.

Because of this, a staggering 4% of women have unintended pregnancies at one year with perfect use - but this number sky-rockets to 22% with typical use.

On top of this, Emily admits she had no idea you could get pregnant during your time of the month.

"Also fun fact," she told her followers. "I was on my period when we conceived.

"I’ve also used that technique my whole life thinking you can’t get pregnant on your period – miracles do happen."

The more you know, eh?
