I am in my 2nd trimester and my belly is starting to stretch, which makes me a bit anxious about getting permanent marks. Are others also using bio-oil or coconut oil, and does it actually prevent them?

I just delivered two months ago and honestly, applying heavy moisturizers twice a day kept my skin from itching. While stretch marks are mostly genetic, keeping the belly well-hydrated definitely minimizes the tightness and itching.

Absolutely, keeping the skin moisturized with virgin coconut oil right from the start is super helpful.

Oh, I panicked so much when I saw the first red line on my stomach in my 6th month! But I realized it's completely normal and many fade to light silver lines later. Just keep your skin hydrated with cocoa butter and don't stress over it.

Now that my baby is a toddler, I look at my faded stretch marks as beautiful tiger stripes from my journey. Don't worry too much, just use any good moisturizer or almond oil to keep your skin elastic.
