Choosing specialist for delivery

Question

I am currently a public patient at NUH, currently at week 32. I am planning to go for a specialist after week 36, as I prefer to have a certain doctor for delivery due to some personal reasons. I understand that I will become a private patient once I choose doctor and thus the clinic charges will go up, but I am a bit confused about how it’s gonna affect the delivery charges. Are there any mommies who did like this? I really would appreciate any information on this. #pregnancy
