Sharp pain in breasts? :(

why in the world do i get random sharp pains in my breasts? it seems to happen every so often, maybe once or twice a week, there will be a time frame of about an hour, or less... where every few minutes, i get a very sharp pain through my breast that starts usually in the middle and shoots up through my nipple, sort of... it hurts really  bad when it happens.. it comes and goes.. i'm pretty sure it has happened in both now. and when i feel to see if anything isn't normal, i can actually feel where the pain is coming from, i can just tell... it doesn't happen while i'm like, pressing on or near the area.... anyone else ever have this problem or anything similar, before? i'm just worried a little, wondering if something is wrong... and i also plan to breastfeed, curious if this the sign of a problem.. can anyone help?

I had the same type of pains, also.  I just figured it was the hormones and the bodies way of readying me for breastfeeding.  I wouldn't worry, although, I know it is very uncomfortable.
