The time to ask that of someone in a proper way would be when the registry lists go out. Just let them know if they don't want to spend the time shopping then they can simply buy a gift card. Present them with a list of places as well as online links to make it easy for the person buying them.
Its important to let them know you are ok with them getting gift cards, you might want to also add in the registry note that you would not be offended at all if they did. That will make their mind more at ease.

Etiquette concerns the comfort, care, and well being of others, and others only. It is entirely selfless and absolutely destroyed by selfishness. So etiquette does not see this shower already given. Etiquette does not care what you've done, but what you are about to do. Etiquette says if you can give her a shower, do so. If not, find someone else to help or let her know gently. It may seem like a lot, but this is love, caring, kindness, generosity, and all those other virtues that without with, etiquette would not exist.

By the rules of proper etiquette, you can't. It isn't up to you if you have a baby shower or not.

If you do not want/need one you can ask them not to give you one and offer an alternative instead like ask for money to be put toward cord blood banking instead of gifts. Just don't be shocked when no one listens or thinks you're a total witch.
