This is a wonderful documentary that shares what it's like to walk through the infertility journey. If you've struggled, or someone you love has, I highly recommend watching this short film.
Unfortunately, there are so many misconceptions about what it takes to reproduce. I didn't realize how many there were, until I unexpectedly found myself facing this challenge. The movie shines a light on some of these.
My favorite "character" was probably Athena's mother. She was a wise & caring lady and without being in amidst the struggle herself, seemed to truly "get it."
There can be numerous ups and downs on this path. Because of this, I thought it was incredibly brave of these men and women to share their struggles so openly in this format. I'm grateful, because it helped me to process my own emotions in different ways.
Kudos to the director & team -

Great film with real people, real clinic, real doctors, and nurses and people in the reproductive industry telling the heartbreaking story of several couples journey to parenthood.
Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle. I recommend this film to see the REAL life examples of what thousands of Americans face if they struggle to conceive. Let's hope no one has to face these issues in the near future, lets fight to get fair coverage for a disability (infertility) that affects 1 in 6 couples and is only getting worse with our prolonging of starting our families later in life.

Vegas Baby is definitely a great film! As someone who has struggled with infertility for seven years and just recently went through IVF herself, I truly appreciated this documentary in more ways than one. It sheds so much light on the struggles people go through to complete their family. This film is definitely eye opening to those that have never traveled the road of infertility and is emotional for those of us who have. It's a must watch!
Vegas Baby was a great documentary about infertility and real life struggles encountered as a result. Infertility is rarely talked about even though so many people struggle with it. This documentary showed the emotional and financial aspects of infertility. Additionally it showed a glimpse into the loss of a child, the impact it has on relationships and the exclusion from society felt when innocent baby/pregnancy conversations arise. The main individuals in the documentary were easy to relate to, sincere and as I watched I wanted so bad for them all to get pregnant. Also this documentary gives great insight into how the doctors and nurses feel with each patient.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this documentary to everyone. Awareness is needed because there are so many people dealing with loss, infertility and all the pain that comes along with it.

This is a moving, important documentary that follows the stories of a diverse group of couples and individuals as they struggle with infertility. Equal parts informative and emotional, this film is one that resonates with audiences regardless of their own experiences with pregnancy, infertility, parenthood, etc.
