Is Usage Of Glycerin For Constipation Advisable During Pregnancy?

Hi there, I m 19 weeks pregnant and my midwife recommended a glycerin suppository to relieve my constipation. I m really worried to do the wrong thing - please let me know if this is a good idea. I m having severe gas pains in my abdomen, okay in the morning and then really bad from the afternoon until I go to bed.
