Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Taking supplements is not harmful for the fetus, however it will not fulfil the calorie and protein requirement of the pregnancy.
I will suggest you to take high protein consisting of milk and milk products, eggs, pulses and meat( if non vegetarian).
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
