Any ideas on where to purchace XL Tall maternity scrub pants. I have checked Allheart.com and all they have are the drawstring type. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How about short pants? I just gave up and bought drawstring scrubs and had to hem them about 6 inches (yep I look like a little round ball right now) Good thing I don't work much and am due in 4 weeks!!

I only worked as a nurse with my 3rd pregnancy, but I was not going to pay those prices for something that I was only going to wear for "X" amount of time...I wore maternity stretch pants and maternity tops (T-shirt style)..I had only 2 maternity scrub tops that was bought for me...

NO 1...I was way more comfortable!

NO 2...It was a lot cheaper!

NO 3...I could wear them outside of work!

But if you want to buy "scrubs"...try all-heart.com, scrubs.com, or just type in maternity scrubs under search...

I just bought huge scrub pants and had the legs tapered. The maternity scrubs were $80, I was NOT paying that

I have a tall friend (6'1") who has her specially made. The material is cheap, and the sewing is very easy (I've heard). Scrubs have a basic pattern, they are simply made. If you take this route, you can choose exactly the colors/patterns you want!

Thanks for the advice. I just hate wearing pants that are too short. I guess i'm obsessive about it. I may just get a couple of pairs of 2XL talls regular scrub pants and see how long they last me.

I'm pretty picky about what I wear, and I'd probably invest in a couple of the tops... so that my hemline would be balanced properly. I would probably just go with the extra long 2x pants to go around my belly... that way they are adjustable. When I was pregnant with my little girl, when she "dropped" it did make a difference in my pants size.
