He is pushing me to get back to having sex the baby is 7 days old and he tells me that he needs me... I know that it is too soon for my body is not healed... help I need something a little help

Isn't it usually doctors order to avoid sex for a certain amount of time? Tell him that you need to heal before you have sex because if you jump the gun too soon you will be worse off and there will be a MUCH longer time until you can have sex again. So ask him if he wants to wait a few weeks or a few months?

[AliMarGoo]

I agree with Glinda. Also try to please him in other ways. I know it's not the same, but at least he'll be getting some pleasure, and maybe you will too!

Your body needs to heal at least 6 to 8 weeks after having a vaginal deliviery. If you do have sex you may also become pregnant again. You can maybe engage in some other type of sexual activity. I myself waited till my first check up and the doctor gave me the okay. Your hsuband will be able to survive, cold shower and let him change a few diapers that may help kill the mood

Go with your instincts here because you are right to want to wait I was told 6 weeks after c section normal birth is 2-3 depending on the person and weather you had any vaginal stitches etc.
He should respect you in you know your body, I have to say though I can also see it from his point of view he will be feeling uterly left out all your attentions will be going to baby witch is only natural we know that but they don't understand it and probably never will.
Talk to him sweetie you need to work it out or your going to end up with all kinds of problems I know I've been there just remember I know you aren't going to feel like swinging from the chandlers but he would probably love a little special attention the same as you would he just needs to know that.

Agreed with everyone. Try some alternatives, explain to him its best for your body to wait and heal properly.
