The rest of the family can swelter.

I bought a Arctic King 8000 BTU portable unit from Rona 4 years ago. Excellent unit, no problems at all. Rona has them for about $350. It will cool down a bedroom in about an hour and keep it at whatever temp you want. It has a remote control with timer functions. Excellent feature, especially for your expectant wife. I’ll usually set it to run for an hour or two when I go to bed, but you could just set it at 21 and let it run.
Downside is you have hook up the hot air exhaust into a window, mine was a pain. Ended up getting a piece of lexan and making a semi-permanent frame.
