They sell bio oil pretty much anywhere, target and Wal-Mart always have it. I'm sure drug stores probably do too, I also saw it at babies r us.

u cant avoid stretch marks...everyones body is different and they are also hereditary. all you can do is avoid adding to them by keeping your skin well nurished. i get the twin question every pregnancy and i only carry singles.-_- ...lol but thankfully with a coat of shea n coco babyoil and lubriderm. i avoided adding any since my first pregnancy. my belly gets the as soft as a babies bottom compliment always :).

I use bio oil in the morning and palmers cocoa butter for pregnancy at night. Seems to help so far. My sis used pure virgin olive oil for her twins. Never got any stretch mark either.

I use coconut oil and/or palmers pregnancy cocoa butter morning and night.  Once you've got them there's not much you can do except try to prevent more. Keep well hydrated with water too.

I use cocoa butter. It helps a lot with relieving itchiness too! However I saw on the Dr. Oz show that if you're going to get stretch marks, then you're going to get them no matter what. They're hereditary too. So if your mother got them, chances are you will too. Horrible news right?! I used cocoa butter lotion & oil as well with my first pregnancy everyday since I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks. I still got them! :( With this pregnancy, I continue using it and I haven't gotten any new stretch marks and I'm almost 37 weeks. Such a relief! I do believe using cocoa butter, bio oil as the previous stated, or anything really will defiantly help with it tho. Even tho doctors have said what I just explained, I still personally think you can prevent them or at least keep em under control. Some people are lucky and never get any! Good luck! Wasn't try to scare you lol just inform you.
