What Causes Strabismus?

My sister is 23 yrs old and 3 months pregnant with her second child. She woke up the other morning and was having a real hard time seeing. She has to shut one eye in order to see straight. Well, she went to the eye doctor today and was told that she went cross eyed. The doctor told her that there was nothing for them to do for her. My question is, could this be caused by the pregnancy? Is there really nothing they could do for her? She has worn contacts for years and sees the eye doctor reg., why didn't they catch this then? How can it just happen over night?
