Stretch marks - advice please!

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and up until last week I didn't have a single stretch mark. All of a sudden I have quite a few and they seem to be growing. I've been covering myself in cocoa butter constantly whilst pregnant, to the point where I smell like a Malteaser most days but it doesn't seem to be helping!😂

Does anybody have any advise on anything that actually works to stop them getting worse or do I just need to accept them? People have mentioned Bio oil but does it stop stretch marks from appearing or just make them fade once you already have them?

Get a secret saviours belly band and of a night slather on silderm oil. Look for the oil on amazon.
I got no stretch marks with my first baby who was 9lbs and I have one tiny one, and I mean tiny above my hip with this one and I’m having the baby tomorrow.
I get a lot of it is genetics, but I have stretch marks from puberty and definitely think the band at least minimises things

I can't seem to see silderm oil on Amazon - am I just a bit blind?

That’s the one. Hopefully you find it.
