amniotic fluid

I've read several different articles online about this. How can I tell if I'm leaking urine or amniotic fluid? Does amniotic fluid have an ammonia smell or is that urine?

Thank you! I'm being overly paranoid. With my daighter I had urine leakage and had to wear panty liners. This time is the same thing, it's just been almost 7 years so it seems I worry about every little thing. Complete opposite pregnancy than with my daughter except the urine leakage. Joys!

Urine smells like ammonia and amniotic fluid can smell sweet some times or no odor.

I've read that for both so I was getting confused on which was true.
