I wore a x-small in scrub pants and bought small maternity pants. I couldn't stand having the drawstring pulled tight under my stomach no matter how low, and the maternity scrubs felt SO much better. So far the smalls still fit but are getting a bit tight in the hips and thighs. I've also gained more weight than I should have. I'd go one size up just for growing room and comfort but you may be all belly and only need the extra room in front.
Op- I normally wear grey's that run a little small. I was given some hand-me-downs in my same size in Cherokee and they are working out great for me.
@kegraves28 they are absolutely wonderful. I've been a minimalist with my maternity wardrobe but these are awesome and worth every penny imo. I can't get regular pants to either stay up when I'm walking or not dig into my bump when sitting.
Cherokee scrub pants are amazing!!! So comfortable. I bought my usual size.

Maternity scrub pants are so worth it! I bought Cherokee pants in my normal size and they felt a little tight at first but I don't think I'll need to go up a size. They're super comfortable and they don't fall down. These were the only maternity scrubs I could find in petite too. They are such a relief compared to the regular scrubs with belly band combo that I was using! No falling down and no digging into the belly. I wish all pants could be this way!
Thanks ladies! I don't know why I waited so long to get some. I have been doing the bigger size regular and getting so uncomfortable! I am ordering a pair now!!
I switched from wearing my own scrubs to the hospital provided drawstring scrubs. And I just wear those with a belly band that help hold them up. I hate spending money on scrubs when I'm not pregnant, there was no way I was spending money on maternity scrubs!
I wear Peaches scrub pants. They have a soft, slightly thicker waistband and fit comfortably under my belly, so I haven't needed to buy maternity scrub pants.

Edit to say I'm currently 33w4d and just noticed the tightness around my butt/thighs ( Not my belly ) this week.
