I don't know about a gestation period, but they lay their eggs wrapped in little pellets of poo buried underground. So don't go digging around in the substrate, because you might destroy the eggs. :)

You just have to wait until you find babies. You will probably find them soon if conditions are right. I have a millipede of the same order (spiroboldia I believe, excuse the misspelling) and I have never found eggs although I often get young! The eggs do sit in the substrate for what seems to be a month or two before millipedes emerge.
