Amidst the great news of celebrity power couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z having successfully conceived their first baby, Blue Ivy, Beyonce's hubby comes out with his newest song "Glory," which revealed shocking news of a miscarriage. With this latest bombshell making noise, people are left to wonder: "Could they have done something to prevent the miscarriage?"

The rap star, now a daddy to a lovely daughter, had the lyrics to his song tell the story: "Last time the miscarriage was so tragic, we was afraid you'd disappear, but nah baby you magic," according to TMZ. Who would have thought that Beyonce suffered through a miscarriage? And on that note, are there some things that moms-to-be can do to avoid losing their baby?

Forget celebrity secrets. There are simple ways to help guarantee a mom that's on her way. What's important to know when it comes to having a baby and keeping it is to be prepared for both before and during pregnancy.

Now what moms-to-be should remember is that they should be prepared even before getting pregnant. This means taking care of themselves and staying healthy. For those women who may think that life won't change because of a baby - wake up, because in preventing a miscarriage, life changes must be made.

Some of these steps are to eat a healthy diet, to exercise regularly and maintaining a healthy weight, to manage stress, and to start taking folic acid supplements as not only will it help during pregnancy, it also reduces the risk of a miscarriage, DocShop.com reported.

When a woman does get pregnant, remember that there is a living miracle waiting to come out, which means there are things that should be avoided or remembered. First things first, stop smoking and drinking alcohol, even second hand smoke is a big no - this cannot be stressed enough as it can significantly affect pregnancies. This goes for caffeine too, as it still has an effect on pregnancies.

Just like in preparing for a baby, mommies should stay physically and mentally fit. This means no sitting in the coach all day and waiting for the baby to happen. What is advised is to do some light, low-impact exercise, or practice breathing techniques, meditation, or yoga, NobleDrugStore.com recommended.

Aside from taking folic acid, it is believed that taking 10 grams of ascorbic acid daily for at least a week during pregnancy reduces the odds of a miscarriage. And for those who are popping pills for something, consult a doctor as soon as possible to find out if it should be discontinued or not.

And when things happen like vaginal bleeding or severe abdominal pain, stop everything and see a doctor immediately as these are symptoms of a miscarriage, Krissi Danielsson of About.com reported.
