34 weeks pregnant, i just yelled really loud and my baby got startled and kicked vigorously for a minute.. could this harm her being so frightened?

Relax...: You did not harm your baby by yelling and her kicking. For your own long term health, if you were yelling out of anger I would recommend finding more effective ways of expressing/communicating your feelings.

No: Since sound is muffled by the amniotic fluid, I would guess she was more startled by the shaking when you yelled than by the sound!
