They are not; fleas cannot survive inside the uterus of a cat. However, because the kittens are so close to the mother cat, actually being physically in contact with her, once the mother cat has dried them off her fleas, if any, will immediately start attacking her kittens.

Is it normal for my cats' first litter of 4 to all die within a week?

No, it is not normal at all. There are several reasons why this may have happened, from fleas (fleas can actually kill tiny kittens), to health issues with either the mother or the kittens, or the mother just couldn't cope in looking after them well. It is ideal to spay your cat as soon as you can so this doesn't happen again.
