Maternity Scrubs or a Size Up? What to Check First
Your usual scrubs are starting to feel snug. Do you order the next size up, or switch to maternity styles?
Start with where you need more room. You may not need to replace the whole set.
Notice where you need more room
If you need a little more room overall, a larger regular size may work. If you mainly need room around your belly, compare maternity styles designed for that change rather than automatically sizing up every piece.
Measure for the fit you need now
Use a tape measure and the specific style’s size chart. Follow its instructions on where to measure and whether to use current or pre-pregnancy measurements. Don’t assume waist and belly measurements mean the same thing. For pants, check the listed hip measurements and inseam too. If the sizing instructions are unclear, ask before choosing a size.
Replace what you need first
If your top still works but your pants don’t, start with pants. Keep your workplace’s color requirements in mind, and check which colors and sizes are available in that style.
The Medea maternity top has adjustable side straps, while Marina maternity pants have a stretch belly panel. Explore each style’s fit details to see which piece suits what you need now.
