A foul odor indicates infection. This means she needs to see a vet ASAP!

An infection can affect the health of the unborn kittens.

It's okay. You can see the vet when they open. Where do you live?

this sounds like pyometra, she should go back to vet. It is a uterine infection perhaps one of the kittens has died. It can be life threatening and may mean emergency c section or spay. There shouldnt be odor, is the discharge opaque at all, or cream grey, along with normal pink? She should be on antibiotics asap . This could be an emergency.

cats are not like dogs where they can cycle and go unbred and remain healthy. Kitties are meant to be bred, they can breed back to back in nature. It isn't healthy for them to be intact and not bred, they can develop uterine infections that can be deadly.  If the cat isn't being bred, it needs to be de sexed for its health. Some un bred cats are susceptible to pyometra. Some cats can go unbred and not develop this where others will, breeders avoid their cats going over 3 cycles unbred. They would either need to breed a cycling cat or use a chip to temporarily stop cycles.
