The baby will move at any time, at the moment the space is allowing baby to lie pretty much as they want, as baby grows space runs out so baby turns up or down to fit the shape and space you have, baby's can be breech for a while and move back and forth, some turn just before the birth, others b4, usually it is something picked up on and if baby is still breech toward the birth date if baby wont be encouraged to turn it can be discussed about birth choices.
Mine have always settled head down at about 30 weeks and stayed put, but my poor friend didn't know her baby was breech until birth, and the bottom came out first!
From now on baby grows fairly rapidly so will run out of space pretty soon and find a comfy position for them!

I have actually felt baby turning at 32 weeks. It took her half a day. Very-very emotional I was. it is just amazing feeling...

I actually had no clue that my baby finally turned until my ultrasound yesterday when I was told. I'm sure a regular doctor or midwife would be able to feel and tell you though.
