No: Water shoes should not be necessary for most people, but you are correct that you should be extra careful to avoid slipping in the shower. Pregnant women have a different center of gravity and falls are more common. You should also watch for loose rugs that may cause you to trip at home. If you feel more comfortable wearing water shoes then feel free to do so.
