haveababy (2017)
Some think an in vitro fertilization contest sounds crazy, but countless Americans desperate to start a family believe this social media experiment is their only hope. Vegas Baby is a profile of patients of a Las Vegas fertility clinic. Each year, the clinic hosts a YouTube-based competition called “I Believe,” which gives one lucky couple a shot at an in vitro fertilization treatment they could not otherwise afford. Hundreds of couples apply, yet there can be only one winner.

Excellent adaptation.
best movie i've ever seen.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
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 -
While I am much earlier in my journey then the women featured in this documentary this movie hits home. It captures the emotions of infertility in a way I didn't think was possible . I highly recommend that anyone who knows someone going through infertility or if you are experiencing infertility yourself you watch this film.
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.
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!
