Absolutely. Don't fret that bad. You need a shower!

It sounds like you are trying to take reasonable precautions.
You sound like your not too confident about it though. If not, maybe you could call a friend your comfortable enough with, and say, ya know, i am going to take a shower, and i know baby is going to be fine in bouncer seat right by the door, but ya never know, i could slip or who knows what, and poor baby would be here alone till whenever, so just want to let you know OK? i will call you when i get out so you know all is fine. Or wait until someone you trust is there with you.

Bring her bouncy seat into the bathroom. If you have a shower curtain, replace it with a clear one so the baby can see you and you can keep an eye on her.

Why don't you just put the bouncy seat in the bathroom with you too keep an eye on her?
Thats what I did unless mine was asleep in a crib/secure seat.
If they are asleep go for it.

Yep. But she should be in the bathroom with you. Leave the bathroom door open so there is good ventilation and have her in her bouncy right outside the shower so you can look at her, well, pretty much every minute.

Yes. She is secure in her seat and can't move to suffocate herself. Leave the door open and shower. You are just anxious and want her to be safe, and that's all right.
If you are really anxious, take the bouncer into the bathroom.
It's fine, really.

I showered with my twin boys, I also put them in their bouncy chairs and kept them in the bathroom with me with the shower curtain open so I could see them.

i used a bouncy seat too until he was old enough to get hurt in it. but yes as long as you could hear the baby and she is safe it should be fine.

Yes. I lay my son on the carpet outside the shower. If I didn't, I would never get a shower!!!

I always took mine in the bathroom with me when they were little. Just put them in the bouncy seat and kept poking my head out to make sure that they were ok:0
Yes, please shower....:P
