--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't want to do the intramuscular vitamin k shot, but i do want to do some vitamin K since I have been on blood thinners the entire pregnancy and I know that can have an effect on the platelet counts of my baby. but where do i get it? do i need to order online and bring to the hospital with me? thanks for any help!!!

Where are you?

I'm not in the US, but the Vit K we use here is the same for oral or IM.

This birth supply co sells a little bottle of oral vit k drops for $20., that has way more doses than you'll need--but it's not a bad price. I would get it and bring to hosp if it were me.
