stretch marks

Alright mommies, what's the real secret to preventing stretch marks? I know I need to moisturize like it's my religion, but any kind of lotions in specific. I've been using my favorite hemp lotion and the Palmer's some but I hate the way it feels. can I take a specific vitamin or eat a specific food to help?
