A woman picked up a book in a thrift store, unprepared for what was slipped inside it when she opened it up. The Reddit user, u/GabrielleCullenn, shared her find-Dr. Seuss’s Oh, Baby, the Places You’ll Go!-and the unexpected contents in the subreddit r/Goodwill_Finds. “A book I picked up for my library with Ultrasound Pictures inside. I always find ones with notes which is sad but this is worse,” she wrote. The accompanying image showed the book lying next to two ultrasound scans. Oh, Baby, the Places You’ll Go! is a popular read-aloud book inspired by Dr. Seuss’s classic Oh, the Places You’ll Go! Written by Tish Rabe with the blessing of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, it is often given as a baby-shower gift or used to celebrate a pregnancy. Reddit users quickly weighed in, offering a mix of theories and personal experiences. “Why would you assume the baby was lost? I had ultrasound photos and all sorts of things in storage. It was my ex’s storage, he didn’t pay it and I found out everything was gone. My baby is now 9 years old and totally fine lol [laugh out loud] it probably says the name of the obgyn on there and the patient, you could call the office and let them know you found the images. Just in case someone’s looking for them, I wish I had mine back,” wrote one user. Another shared a similar sentiment: “Idk [I don’t know], my oldest is 15 and I only have 4 ultrasounds and with my youngest I was unfortunately unable to get obgyn care so I have zero ultrasounds of them. which is sad for many reasons. Id be upset to lose what I do have.” Others offered more lighthearted possibilities. “I thought the parents used the photos as book marks and just forgot about them, rather than the baby passing. I use photos as bookmarks then find them years later lol,” one Reddit user said. Gabrielle acknowledged that theory but maintained her sadness over the find. “Maybe yes. They could have just read this book and placed them there to think of them. It’s just sad,” Gabrielle responded. Not everyone agreed. “I don’t get why it’s sad. It seems to be assuming a lot to consider this sad,” another user wrote. Gabrielle later elaborated on her feelings: “It’s just sad because it’s such an experience seeing your baby, honestly judging by how this looks it looks very similar to my pictures of my daughter at 6 weeks, likely one of the first pictures they saw of their child but maybe not idk. I personally have all mine in a safe so if I lost them I’d be devastated. We could not verify the details of the case.
