The purpose of a shower is to welcome a woman to motherhood and shower her with gifts of things that she'll need for motherhood. Since you're already a mother and don't need to be welcomed to motherhood, you don't get a shower (even if you didn't have one the first time).
Edit: You in the proverbial sense, not you specifically.

Not asking for me. As I said, not pregnant, probably OAD. Just curious about the consensus.
Why would the imaginary mom need it? She should already have gotten herself set up with the gear needed.
I don't know, maybe she got divorced and didn't think she'd need it. Maybe her house burned down. Maybe someone stole it. I thought at showers people typically registered for baby gear but the gifts were mostly clothes and consumable things (diapers, creams, shampoo...). Aside from family or my best friend who I'd buy stuff for anyway, I've never gotten anyone a carseat or crib or other expensive thing.

I got plenty of stuff that would be re-useable for any additional babies down the road. Insurance would cover replacement for house burning down. Divorce - the dad takes half, buy the rest? theft -insurance again. My point is I don't really see a reason that she'd need one. People will buy clothes and soap when the baby is born, shower or not.
