Unfortunately my OB teacher says none of this stuff actually works. Stretch marks are a hormonal response. I've tried everything and had no help and I've gotten them sense I was a kid no matter how small I was.

I've used both cocoa butter just hydrates the skin it's good for the itchiness and bio oil has helped minimize them!

I use Udderly Smooth (Also called Udder Butter). You're going to get some stretch marks no matter what unless your family just has really great skin. My family usually gets them pretty bad but with Udder Butter I've only gotten a few. They originally made it for dairy cows to keep their udders from drying out and bleeding. It has no smell and is also safe for baby so you cane use it on your nipples to keep them from cracking once baby starts to latch if you plan on breast feeding. It's not greasy either. I use it all over my body after a shower and my skin has never looked better. I even use it on my face  moisturise after washing it, no acne anymore.
