No, cephalic presentation is great news. It means baby's head is down (in the correct position). The cephalic presentation should not affect whether she goes into preterm labor or not. As far as the growth is concerned, I agree with your doctor. Dopplers need to be evaluated to make sure baby is getting enough blood flow. Your wife will likely need monthly growth scans until she delivers. Good luck!
