I think it's the repetitiveness of questions that gets me more than anything. I see people post that they think it's rude to ask how the birth went, or how bub is sleeping, or whatever. I don't mind being asked stuff, but when it's asked a gazillion times I start getting annoyed. I had people commenting all the time on how huge I was with DD, are you sure it's not twins? you sure you've got your dates right? You look like you're going to pop any time now! I wasn't offended, just frustrated at answering the same questions all the time.
I hope you can overcome it somewhat, cos as you say, you know it's coming :/ Maybe include how you feel about it in your answer so they don't have a chance to think 'oh - surprise baby=unwanted baby' (not that I really think people think this?). Maybe something like "no, this is our little surprise and we're so excited" or something.
