34 weeks +2 days with major breast discomfort

In the past few days or so I have been getting major discomfort in my breasts, particularly my nipples. They start to ache or itch until I hand express what I'm assuming is colustrum. I've read that hand expressing early can lead to early labor but its pretty awful to endure if I don't. Have any of you other ladies experienced this or something similar?
