Nursing strike or weaning?

I'm 16wks pregnant, DD almost 18 months old. Colostrum came in last week. At first, DD asked to feed more often, she'd dropped to just before nap and bedtime. We sort of night weaned her earlier in pregnancy. She started sleeping through sometimes and stopped asking if she did wake so when she started asking again in the night, I said no as wanted to night wean anyway.
Since colostrum came in, for 2 nights she'd woken and asked and I said no as don't want to go back to night feeds. This did really upset her but she accepted it.
Anyway, last time she fed was Saturday evening before bed, she also had one before her nap that day. Sunday evening I offered and she said no. She asked on her night waking that night and I said no because it was night. Offered her twice yesterday and again she said no and cried a bit when she saw my boob. Night waking last night she didn't even ask.
When colostrum first came in a week ago age fed a lot more but then the last few feeds I did, got shorter and shorter.
I'm wondering if I've annoyed her by refusing or could it be the taste? It's all salty and tastes rank!

Any views or expertise to offer me? I kind of wanted her to still be feeding when the baby arrived but equally always wanted her to self wean. And she just said no more milkies to me I think but that's quite a complex sentence for her ATM although she has good speech
