painful stretch marks

I am 27 weeks pregnant with our first son and I have bright purple/pink deep & sore stretch marks, they are so painful it sometimes feels like they are being sliced open and they really sting. I use Palmers cocoa butter formula which help a little with the pain but not much.I've tried other stuff like bio oil but it doesn't help at all. Does anyone know anything that may help? Thanks in advance

I've heard to try olive oil...but I honestly don't know hun. I've been lucky enough to not get them too BSD so far. Mine are red and itchy but not sore...yet...
I've just been doing the cocoa butter too. Maybe just apply more often?

I'm 23 weeks and I'm starting to get really dark ones on my hips. They're not painful but you can't tell its deep. My mom bought me a good bottle of extra virgin olive oil and it feels really good on your skin. I hope it helps but it's too early to tell. I also have some Mederma scar gel that is just sitting in my cabinet and I'm thinking about trying it.
