An Exercise In Nonsense

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, both physically and emotionally. Because of this, I thought it was incredibly brave of these men & women to share their struggles so openly in this format. At times, it honestly felt like looking in a mirror. I'm grateful, because it helped me to process my own emotions in different ways. Kudos to the director & team -

This is a very delicate and touchy topic, and I would like to apologize in advance to anyone who will feel offended by my review.
In one review some said: "Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle." and I subscribe 100% to that statement.
But, education should be first, not after the problem arrived; so we have to ask ourself a few questions.
Why infertility is affecting so many people now?
Why our parents and grandparents where not affected?
Why is this a predominant issue in North America, and why is so expensive here, compare with let say EU?
Historically, 3000 years ago the average life span was somewhere around 30 years, by 1850 that rouse to 45, today is between 73 and 83 in G20 countries. Unfortunately, our body genetics didn't kept the ratio.
If you look into when your parents and grandparents got their bundle of joy, you'll see that they where much younger that today generation; also you'll notice that they were MORE active and their diet was MORE healthier (no growth hormones , no antibiotics in their food stuff, and this a hole new story).
In Vegas Baby, we see people in their 30+ and 40+, some with a BMI (Body mass index) no so ideal, a doctor who think medicine is a business, and some of his prices that define common sense, taking advantage of people suffering.
And in true american tradition they are doing a contest for free IVF.
Shame.

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.

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.
