I don't think so. Different life event (the baby, not the shower). And remember that a baby shower isn't a wedding - you don't ahve to invite all the same people (I've seen this asked). A baby shower should still be your closest family and friends.
Agree with PPs, since you don't throw a shower for yourself, presumably whoever offered doesn't see it as an issue. Also, you won't be inviting every family member that was at the wedding to a shower, it'll be a much smaller event.
If people want to send presents, they will whether they're invited to a shower or not.

No, no one will mind that for your first baby. Most likely that timing was pretty common back in the day when birth control wasn't as widely available or socially acceptable.
The last shower I went to was only a few months after their wedding. Even as a second child (first for one of them) it wasn't 'too much' or 'too soon' for me.
It was a bit annoying that I didn't get a thank you card for any of the three events though. Just make sure you send thank yous
I'm in the same boat. My baby shower will be about 11 months after my bridal shower. I've had several people who were at the first shower offer to host the second, so that tells me that people clearly don't mind. I'm 33 and my husband is 39, so I don't think anyone is surprised that we started TTC right away. Also, I thought about it this way: I would be thrilled for a family member or friend and excited to go to both events, so I hope that my family and friends feel the same way. No one who is invited but doesn't want to come has to! I actually invited MORE people to the baby shower than the bridal shower, since I included more friends who lived out of town.
ETA: A friend is hosting my baby shower; I was simply asked to put together the guest list.
