I know there are a couple of scrubs-wearing ladies on here. Where did you get your maternity scrubs, and what brand? I was just looking on Amazon, and there are a LOT of just terrible reviews. I wear Laundau and Cherokee now, and I'm not super picky. I'm wondering if the bad reviews are just people who expect scrubs to make a fashion statement. I really don't.

I didn't buy any maternity scrubs. I went up a size in pants and wear the waistband below my belly. I had a couple of tops that were a size bigger that are just now starting to get too tight. I'm just going to wear maternity t-shirts under a lab coat for my last 3ish work weeks. (I work 7 days on, 7 off)
For reference, I'm 33w6d and have gained 26lbs. My scrubs are Cherokee. I get the pants with elastic in the back and a drawstring in front, and Cherokee Flexibles tops.
I just sized up in my normal bottoms and bought a solid color snap front jacket from cherokee with a solid T underneath. We are color coded at work and I only work one night a week so I only needed one set. I don't know anything about the actual maternity stuff.
I am wearing my regular size scrub pants for now and plan to just go up a size when I need to. I don't wear scrub tops any more, only maternity t-shirts. My work place is pretty laid back about dress code.
So far I have done a mix of all of the above replies. I bought a pair of Cherokee maternity scrub pants in my normal size which are my favorite. They fit without being all huge and making me feel fatter. I also bought a pair of Dickies maternity scrubs one size up. When they first came I was all ready to return them because they were so big they were absolutely never going to fit and now of course they do. They are fine, but not my favorite. I would recommend getting them in your normal size, not going up a size (for maternity scrubs). The nice thing about the Dickies ones I got is that the pants have an adjustable waist band (some interesting stretch hooks) and also have an over the belly panel, but that seems to be shrinking (hee hee) and you can see the line where it ends on my belly if I wear it with a fitted top. I also bought some non maternity cheap scrubs a size up. This worked great for the pants which I can tie with a string below the belly, and wear a long undershirt with a maternity top or a scrub top. I also bought some regular, nicer scrubs a size up which have been great until now when I am just about to outgrow them. They're too tight around the belly at this point (30 weeks today) and are starting to look dumb. Also, some of the non maternity undershirt/tank top/long sleeved shirts I got to wear under stuff have become too short so plain maternity non scrub shirts are working best now. Don't know if your job allows that. I just re-read what I wrote and it's super confusing sounding--sorry! Good luck!
