I got jinx with stretch marks I was doing just fine with coco butter like 3 times a day or whenever my belly felt itchy , they started on my hips again but little tiny ones but I'm use to those but then the guy that does my ultrasound says " oh you're going to be one of those mom's that doesn't get stretch marks anywhere noticeable" couple days after I was applying lotion to my stomach and I started to feel them I was so mad but just gotta live with my tiger stripes now Even though they are dark right now

Bio oil is good to use in the 2nd and 3rd trimester

Dont use bio oil while pregnant yes it works wonders but its full of chemicals.. they sell stretch wark creams that are all natural or use coconut oil or almond oil

You either you get them or you don't or right before the last week. Stretch marks come due your skins elasticity. No matter how much cream you'll use you can still get them. The cream may help make them less noticeable but it will never prevent stretch marks.

I've heard good things about bio-oil. I haven't used it, though. Cocoa butter has been working just fine for me.

I have been using sweet almond oil since the beginning of my pregnancy and have not had one single stretch mark. Maybe give it a try.
