From what I've heard, quite a few mums do exactly this, see a private gynae for follow-ups but deliver at KKH under the hospital's own doctors to keep costs down. The trade-off is that you won't have your own gynae with you during delivery, so whoever is on call at KKH will handle it, which some mums are completely fine with and others find a bit unsettling. For ward costs, a normal vaginal delivery at KKH can range quite a bit depending on your ward choice, B1 tends to be more affordable and fully Medisave-claimable for the stay, while A1 can still be covered by Medisave up to the limits but may have additional out-of-pocket if you add epidural or other interventions. My neighbour delivered at KKH this way and said the care was solid, though she did have to make peace with not knowing which doctor would be there on the day. Overall it's a reasonable approach if budget is the priority, just go in with realistic expectations about the delivery experience itself.
