Shopping for Maternity Scrubs

Congratulations on your pregnancy from everyone at Scrubs by Identity Factor! At Scrubs by Identity Factor, we understand the unique needs of expecting mothers in the medical field. So, when you shop with us, you will see we have a curated collection of scrubs designed especially for pregnant women – the maternity scrubs!

With our specialized maternity scrub collection, you’ll find they offer a blend of comfort, functionality, and style to support you throughout your pregnancy journey. If you are new to shopping for maternity scrubs, we hope these tips will help!  

When to Start Shopping for Maternity Scrubs 

Pregnancy brings many physical changes, and comfort becomes a top priority for expecting mothers, especially those in demanding professions like healthcare. Wearing your regular scrubs during the first three months of pregnancy is generally safe and comfortable. However, once you start feeling your baby kick and your bump becomes more noticeable, it’s a good idea to start shopping for maternity scrubs. We suggest doing this as soon as you feel your waist or top getting snug, although the timing may vary for everyone.  

Can I Get Bigger Scrubs Instead of Maternity Scrubs? 

You may think that going up a size in scrubs will be fine, but here are some reasons why you may want to consider getting maternity scrubs instead: 

  • Maternity scrubs are designed to provide comfort and flattery for pregnant women, unlike regular scrubs. 
  • Regular scrubs won’t fit perfectly, as they may fit in some areas but be too loose in others. 
  • Most maternity scrub pants come with a soft and comfortable waist panel that expands with you, avoiding the uncomfortable digging-in sensation that other scrub pants may cause. 

At Scrubs by Identity Factor, we ensure our maternity scrubs have features like stretchy fabric, adjustable waistbands, and strategically placed seams to accommodate a growing belly without compromising on style. 

Maternity Scrub Shopping Tips 

As the baby grows, it can be challenging to feel comfortable. However, you can still prioritize your comfort in clothing. Here are some helpful tips for shopping for maternity scrubs: 

  • You will still wear the same size in maternity scrubs as regular scrubs; there is no need to go up a size. 
  • Depending on the weather and your uniform requirements, consider wearing a scrub jacket, tee shirt, and maternity scrub pants to ensure maximum comfort and save money on maternity scrub tops. 
  • If you know someone who wore scrubs while pregnant, ask them for advice on the best brands and see if you can try their scrubs on for fit.
