Best oils to prevent stretch marks?

I've been using bio oil from the beginning of my pregnancy and it's been going well. I've also heard rose hip oil is good. What's everyone's recommendations?

nothing will prevent them. oils and creams do not penetrate into the layer of skin where stretch marks form.

When I was pregnant with my son 15 year ago I was a uk size 8 before I fell pregnant so understandably quite small, I went absolutely huge with my son and he was born at 9lb 12.5oz and I also had a lot of water, anyhow I used an oil by avent and I got about 3 tiny little ones, so if this oil is still available (15 year later) I highly recommend that.

frankincense essential oil, applied to the scars afterward. Coconut oil to moisturize and add elasticity before hand, (also great for perineal massage, to help prevent tearing). jojoba oil is also the oil most like the oils our skin produces naturally, and while I haven't used it personally, I've heard much about it's excellent properties.

I had the most success with olive oil. I used bio oil on my boobs when I was younger as I went from A to a D in about 8 months - It did nothing.
