Smelly vagina during pregnancy

Ok, this is kinda embarrassing to talk about but we are all friends here! I am a hygiene-a-phobe.... And am freaking out because the past few days I have really noticed a strong smell coming from down stairs (like chemically). I know my sense of smell is heightened due to being 8 weeks pregnant but is any one else experiencing this too? What causes it? Does it go away? I am currently chugging mass quantities of water trying to maybe help it.......
