not gaining weight

I am 14 weeks and this is my second baby I started feeling and seeing movement a few days ago when I went to my first ob they said I was dehydrated and my protein was low so they saidI am either not eating healthy or jjust not eating. So I stopped eating fast food and have been trying to eat healthy and yes of course I eat lol but I have only gained maybe a pound but I think some of the weight is from not being able to go to the bathroom. I was thinking about drinking ensure but it's allot of money so I was thinking about getting some powder Slim fast shakes and drink those with meals I was thinking cus you use them to replace meals it might help.of course I am going to talk to my Dr but my appointment isn't till next Wednesday so I wanted to try something till then. Is anyone else having problems? With my first son I had no problem gaining weight I went from 145 to 204 when I gave birth.

I've gained maybe five pounds and I'm three days away from hitting the seven month mark. And still I stay between 149-152 so I can't even keep on the five little pounds I have gained. My doctor said he isn't worried about it right now. But I eat a lot, I walk to work and around work, so maybe that's why. But I'm not sure. I'm not going to stress it because my baby boy is big and healthy. Lol

I didnt gain weight until i was half way through the pregnancy. Just make sure you tell the doctor the reason you arent gaining weight. They will recommend something to help.
