Lashes falling out

Hey, im 26 weeks pregnent and my eyelashes are falling out, have a big gap on the right side, they got a lot shorter and a lot of them missing. I do have an underactice thyroid but my recent blood test showed is a norm. Anyone has this and any suggestions how to stop it? Or what could cause it?

I'd get an eye exam.  It could be infection or blepharitis which is ongoing & caused by oil production I think. Just go to eye doc & get an answer. Exams are covered by most insurance after deductible met.  They make eyelash scrubbie cloths or you can use baby shampoo & water to manage it.  Make sure your makeup isn't old and if you're taking it off every night.  Could be allergy related too.

I think they should grow back once your hormones go back to normal. Otherwise you could try a vitamin called silica to help them grow thicker and faster.
