Does the baby head down mean labor soon?

I am a 27 year old pregnant female. I want to know if the baby head down means labor soon?

The baby can be head down any time During the pregnancy. Labor can start with any position of the baby. Your physician can give you your status when he checks you.
Hello,

No, it does not mean that. The baby can be head down at 16 weeks. The fetal position has nothing to do with when you will go into labor. 
I hope that this helps.
