While the nation holds its breath in anticipation of news of the much-awaited Royal Baby, other expectant parents across the country will be looking forward to meeting their own new additions to the family.

We want to celebrate babies born in the UK around the same time as the new Royal Baby and hear your stories of experiencing birth, the arrival of a newborn and all the details of the big news - name, weight, gender and the delivery story of course (but please spare us the gory details!).

If your baby was born in July, please use GuardianWitness to upload a photo telling us your story about this new little person, your maternity ward and delivery experiences as well as your hopes for the child's future. You can also share your story if you are expecting and the due date is July too.

We'll feature the best stories in a gallery on the Guardian, to be published around the time of the Royal birth to celebrate UK babies across the nation.
