I use african shea butter and bio oil and i forget to put it on most of the time and didnt start putting anything on my stomach till around 6 months. I usually use both at the same time when my stomach is itchy but if its not i put the shea butter on when i wake up and the bio oil on when i go to sleep. And im now about to be 9 months and still dont have one stretch mark .

Coconut oil! I use it 2-3 times a week- rub it in all over stomach, sides, hips, rear, and breasts. The few marks I got under my breasts are already gone they showed up a few weeks ago. The one set of marks I have had on my inner thigh since my highschool days has been gone since my 3rd month of pregnancy. Coconut oil all the way!

I use just normal lotion. I've heard coconut oil is good too.

This is my second pregnancy and when i was prego with my first child a friend recommended Johnson's baby oil gel (like $4 at walmart). It worked very well for me so im using it again with this pregnancy. I only have a few marks on my sides and im 32 weeks along already. Its great to use on your thighs and breasts too for stretch marks. I hope this helps.
