Question

Vitamin K injection


I am looking into this bith plan at the moment and read that you have to decide whether or not the baby should get a Vitamin K injection after birth.

OH and me couldn't make our mind up regarding this

what you guys know about it and did you have it done with previos babys?

thx, Angie

TBH I don't remember dwelling that much on this. All the info that the hospital gave us made it seem like you'd be mad not to. Having said that, I can't for the life of me remember why they gave it plus I don't remember it being given (though I know it was).

I'm opting for the oral drops. I actually don't see the point in the injection as it's to prevent a blood clotting condition which affects 1 in ten thousand babies (and most of those are already high risk), but the OH want's the sprog to get it so we compromised.

Bethanie had it.. I listened to whatever they said, im sure they give it for good reason.. although stupidly, I don't actually remember what it was for (the midwife did say though).

Ok I searched google now
