Skin moisturizer: Cocoa butter or Shea butter?

Hi. I'm currently 23w 2d pregnant with my baby boy. :)
I have a pre-pregnancy history of lots of moisturizing and skin care/hygiene. I have been using cocoa butter on my skin even before pregnancy. It has always been a good moisturizer for me. I used Shea Butter before and that is a great moisturizer also, and it is thicker than the cocoa butter.
Which do you feel is a better moisturizer for skin during pregnancy? I thought about mixing the two together and that way  start applying
