Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
Bleeding is never normal in pregnancy. It always need investigation.
7 weeks pregnancy is actually a grey area in obstetrics. We cannot usually make a final conclusion if there is no heart beat. In this case it is usually advised to repeat scan in 7-10 days. If heart beat appears it indicates a live pregnancy. If no heart beat this indicates a missed miscarriage. So, better to have a repeat ultrasound & wish you all the best.
Take care.
