What is the earliest the hospital will induce with gestational diabetes?

Yes it is a know fact that babies of mom's with Gestational Diabetes are often larger in size, but this is not always the case. They do not like to induce pregnancies until about 37-38 weeks depending on the babies size and lung maturity. I would say that you will probably have your baby by 39 weeks but at the babies current size you may be looking closer to 37 weeks. Babies at this week of gestation do typically well with the transition into the world. They are often a nice healthy weight and ready to breath on their one without assistance. Best of luck to you and your new baby!
