I know when pregnant you can loose hair, I thought it was typically just hair on the head but I guess it could be the same reason for you. Sorry I dont really know :o(

Do you get a lot of sleep around your eyes? Are your eye lids red around the rims do they itch at all or feel uncomfortable? If so it could be something called blepharitus. It's very easy to treat, you just wash your eyelashes with baby shampoo every morning in the shower. Make sure it is baby shampoo though and not a normal shampoo.

I used to ware contact lenses before having my son and I got this, my eyelashes started to fall out and they felt a bit odd and bumpy my eyes didn't hurt. My optician told me to use the baby shampoo and it worked really well. You have to keep doing it for a few weeks at least or the bacteria will come back again. hth

I agree with the other ladies baby shampoo but it's got something to do with your eyes changing during pregnancy, they can change shape, become drier etc. With my first my eye lashes came out in clumps, and i couldn't wear contact lenses, but with 2nd child no real problems lost a few but none by the standards before.
