Vitamin K Shot

I did not know much about the Vitamin K shot with my 3 other children and I did it with all of them when they were newborns.  I came across an article the other day saying that the shot was not necessary except for certain issues the baby or mother might have such as:

• Preterm delivery (I do not have this issue)
• Low birth weight (I do not have this issue)
• A forceps or vacuum extraction delivery (I DO have this issue)
• Mother’s use of antibiotics, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, and some other medications during pregnancy (I DO use antibiotics while pregnant for different issues)
• Undetected liver disease
• Extremely fast, or extremely prolonged labor, particularly during the pushing phase (I have 24 hour labors with at least 3 hours of pushing)
• Delivery by C-section (I do not have this issue)

Since I have a few of these issues I am not sure if I need the shot or not.  The risk of the shot is:

Risks associated with the Vitamin K shot
As with any medical procedure, the vitamin K shot does carry risks. Infants who receive the vitamin K shot have an increased risk of developing newborn jaundice. Many babies who receive the shot develop severe jaundice and require light therapy and other treatment to protect their health. Some studies also suggest a possible link between the vitamin K shot and an increased incidence of developing leukemia and other childhood cancers. While some studies refute these findings, the risk of developing childhood leukemia may be increased by up to 80% with the administration of the vitamin K shot (http://www.babyreference.com/VitaminKinjectORnot.htm). Introducing levels of vitamin K in excess of normal newborn levels may also interfere with proper cell division and growth (http://www.babyreference.com/VitaminKinjectORnot.htm). The shot is also painful for the baby, and for many parents, this is enough to refuse the vitamin k shot. FROM: http://voices.yahoo.com/is-vitamin-k-shot-right-newborn-480153.html?cat=25

I have no idea what to do, I am going to ask my doctor about the Oral Vitamin K and about me taking vitamin K before the baby is born and then he can get it through my breast milk.
