Contractions and eating

I’m 35 weeks and I’m finding now I can not eat with out getting contractions. These aren’t Braxton Hicks. These are like rocking back and forth, cramps down my legs, breathing through them contractions. And it’s only when I eat. I’ve been having a mixture of Braxton Hicks and real contractions for about a week now. 1-3 every hour or so. I’ve been losing my mucus plug since 29 weeks and this weekend I lost a big chunk.

I’ve been timing them and they’re about 2-5 minutes apart lasting 30-50 seconds but after about an hour they’re done until I start eating again. I spoke to my doctor about it and she didn’t seem concerned since they’re not continuing for more than an hour. Any one else experienced anything like this? I’m already pretty uncomfortable and contractions every time I eat isn’t helping.
