How many weeks is normal for delivery with gestational diabetes?

Martini asked:

I am 33 weeks along with gestational diabetes. I have been doing very well with my blood sugar levels and my diabetes is controlled by diet.

Is it likely that my doctor will let me carry to 40 weeks?

Due this month with a GIRL !says:

My friend had her baby at 38 weeks pregnant..

They might but i don’t think so cause with gestation diabetes you will have big babies so i don’t think they will let you have it before 38 weeks..

They will put pressure on you to induce early. I’m a type 2 diabetic and went 40 weeks + 1 day for my first pregnancy, and my daughter was 7 1/2 pounds. It’s not always medically necessary but a lot of doctors nowadays seem to push diabetic moms into early induction.
