C section earlier than planned.

I’m 36+2 as of today. I went in for a scan at 36+1 due to baby being stubborn and comfy with his head up. As they’re doing the scan the tech says she’s “looking for amniotic fluid now” which I can only assume is because she realized I was getting worried about how long it was taking. Flash forward to meeting with the Dr and the first thing she says when she sits down is “couple of findings on your scan” she then tells me I need to prepare for delivery as fluid levels are low. I thought I had plenty of time as a FTM that he’d bake for a while longer maybe 38-40wks. I’m having a c section on Friday because they don’t know why my levels are low or if they will be getting lower from here. I’m pretty nervous about if he will have to stay in the NICU and what the new time line looks like for him.

Luckily my family is very re assuring and my husband is over the moon excited to meet baby boy but I still feel like my body has failed my baby to some capacity.
