Usually your baby will turn head down by 36 week, if not then the hospital may book you in for a procedure to try and turn your baby (by pressing on your tummy). Some babies turn before tho (my daughter has been head down since 28 weeks).

I'm not sure if you'll feel it exactly when they do it since they move quite a bit. I can only tell my guys in the position because of where his hands and feet move. They go into that position to get ready for delivery, it can probably happen at anytime but usually more so towards when it's closer to deliver. I'm 37 weeks dilated to a 1 at my 36 week check, he's been in the head down position for about 2 weeks now
