Nipple pain. so bad I want to cry!

Cyndi • I am married to a truly amazing man who I am proud to call my husband and best friend. We are expecting our 1st baby!
I'm almost 37 weeks. For the last few days, my nipples have been hurting so bad! Like a stinging pain. It comes and goes and they get really, really hard. I'm going to breastfeed so I hope this stops before baby comes, bc I'm sure it will make breastfeeding much more painful.
