Stretch marks

I heard that Vicks vaporub works really well on stretch marks, I'm just wondering if its ok to use during pregnancy or if I should wait until after?

I am 22wks and I use Palmers coco butter still haven't gotten any.  Knock on wood;) but I hear stretch marks have alot to do with genetics too. Best of luck. Vicks has such a strong smell I dont think I can handle it.
