Vitamin K...or not?

[Guest guest]

Greetings all,

I am due at the end of July (the 25th) and having learned of the side

effects of the so-called vitamin K shot, we are declining that. We

are interested in the oral administration since it is not as intense

but I wanted to know if any of you have used this route in lieu of

the injection?

Our midwife says she plans to leave the placenta attatched to the

baby for up to 4 hours to ensure all blood that would go to baby and

toxins to be eliminated are able to completely finish. So after

reading some research today that it's possible that severing the cord

from the placenta blood too early is possibly contributing to the

need for the vitamin K.

Anyone know of side effects from the oral; here's what I bought:

K-Quinone-is an oil soluble source of vitamin K-1 (phytonadione), the

non-toxic natural form of vitamin K present in plants.

K-Quinoe is extracted from alfalfa, nettles and green tea. It is now

in a base for Olive Extract and Soy Extract..

Each drop provides 2 mg of vitamin K-1 activity.

The bottle is now 1/2 oz size and contains 440 doses put they have a

longer shelf life. It appears that it is 6 months now.
