I had gestational diabetes aswell. My midwife told me my bub would be a really big one and it got me so worried, i was convinced i was going to give birth to a 14 lbs baby or something!!
When I had Jett, he was 2 weeks overdue and only 6lbs 13ozs! That came as a huge suprise to me!
I wanted to experience the contractions etc at home and have to make a huge rush to the hospital but i ened up being induced and i am happy that I was in the end, I still experienced everything, just in the birth unit!
