No really!: It is not normal to be seeing new floaters. There are several concerns for the stand point of the eye... You need a complete retinal exam on an urgent basis to make sure there are no retinal tears. There are also the issues of systemic concerns such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia that may be causing this. You need to seen by your OB urgently!
