When I was pregnant with my now 13 year old, she dropped when I was like 36 weeks.

Depends on the baby! You can encourage head down by doing forward leaning inversions (Spinning Babies website has instructions)

My other kiddo was 38 weeks or so. That was a trip!

My baby was head down at my 12 week scan and as far as we know has been ever since. Confirmed at my 20 week and 23 week scans (couldn't get all the pictures at 20w).

There's no right answer, but if baby isn't head down by 32 weeks your provider will probably talk to you about options for turning/delivery.
