The general consensus is that if you are going to get them, you'll get them. But they can be minimised and it's good to keep the skin on the expanding belly area nice and supple anyway! Like Carrie said, anything with vitamin E will work as Vitamin E helps to heal scar tissue. Cocoa butter is also used in many preparations but IMO a better option would be shea butter.
If you are into aromatherapy or want a cheap natural option, a blend of wheatgerm oil (vitamin e oil) and sweet almond oil or grapeseed oil is really nice. Avocado and Olive oils are also good.
ETA - Forgot to congratulate you on your pregnancy!!
