Glycerol suppositories- how often?

Hi all,

I am experiencing really bad constipation this pregnancy (almost 30 weeks). My diet contains plenty of fibre and I eat all then usual things to trigger a poo. I don’t find fybogel or laxido effective but the suppositories are miracle workers. I am, however, concerned about how often I’m using them and whether I’m becoming dependent on them. I have just been prescribed iron tablets so suspect the constipation will get worse. Currently I’m using about one a week, sometimes a fortnight at a stretch. Is this too often? Anyone else been in the same position?
