Synopsis:
What happens when a group of single American women past their reproductive prime give up looking for "Mr. Right" and settle for "Mr. Right's" DNA? Maybe Baby is an intimate documentary that takes a new look at the emotional and physiological journeys of six women in their '30s and '40s as they pursue pregnancy through Assisted Reproductive Technology, a multi-billion dollar industry. Against a backdrop of ticking biological clocks, Maybe Baby illuminates basic human questions of life, love, fertility and the meaning of motherhood today.
