Vegas Baby

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 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.

Vegas Baby is a fascinating and compassionate account of two couples and a single lesbian and their struggles to start a family. It is also a provocative exploration of an extreme corner of American health care that raises ethical and moral questions for the viewer.

The filmmaker gains her subjects' trust and therefore has incredibly intimate access to their journeys, showing them confronting emotional and economic adversity without sentimentalizing their courage or overlooking their (often wry) self-awareness and sense of humor. This delicate balance is in evidence throughout Vegas Baby, which is also a beautifully crafted film. The image of the Pyramid in Las Vegas, with its connotations of the longing for immortality, hovers over the subjects' stories, which are as diverse as they could possibly be. You don't have to be interested in or suffering from infertility to engage with this compelling film and its universal themes.

If you have considered or gone through IVF, or know someone who has.....this documentary is definitely worth watching!! Having recently gone through IVF and miscarriage, I really identified with the different story lines in this film. Truly, a job well done. Thank you to the film crew for bringing awareness to the world of infertility!

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.
