leaking breatmilk

Hi Ladies-
  I have done some research on this subject, but i just thought i would get some of your opinions.  I have been leaking breastmilk since about 16 weeks.  It was never on a regular basis and never very much, but now at almost 22 weeks it is getting more and more regular and there is more when it does happen.  Everything i have read says it isn't a problem, but is something i should be concerned enough to talk to my doctor about?

I was still mildly lactating from my first child when I got pregnant, but the pregnancy has dried it up and I haven't started leaking with this one yet.  I seem to recall it starting around this time with the last pregnancy (I'm 24w4d).  I've actually been wondering when it will start.  16w sounds early for it to start, but I can't imagine it's bad.  Talk to your doc if you're concerned.
