TMI what do waters smell like?

[mopmum4X]

Sorry to be horrid but what do they smell like? I'm sure mine have been leaking(ever so so slowly) for a couple of days, not to the point where i need a pad or anything so like i said really really slowly. My waters have never gone by them self before, i had them popped with my first, then my 2nd an 3rd they went as i was pushing so i don't have a clue what it is like. Sorry for such a daft question. x

apparently its a sweeter smell than wee, i read somewhere its like a bleach smell - wouldn't know for certain as this is my first. it should be clear or have a pinkish tinge to it, not straw coloured like urine.

hope this helps and i reckon if you think its been leaking you should get it checked out, even if you're not sure what it is.
