I had the same concern few weeks ago. Many suggested Bio oil, Palmer's cocoa butter, and Mustela. Mustela is a little expensive one compared to other 2. I went with Palmer's since it's my first trial. I may mostly switch to Bio oil during my 3rd trimester. Also I read that stretch marks is genetic. so the creams would just help only to some extent.
Bio oil, mustela and palmers(heard Clarins also good but exp). I started applying closer to trimester 2 when belly started showing and using them even more frequently in trimester 3.
you should start using bio oil from first trimester onwards. after birth you can consider getting the pic i attached it works very well on me, now my stretch marks are gone
