Anger in pregnancy : There is no correlation between emotional strain and any physical signs of damage to the pregnancy or fetal distress. At the same time you and your baby are linked and whether the stress that you are under will potentially alter your cortisol levels and make you more prone to deliver early is uncertain . My best advice is that it is time to eliminate these types of stress from your life.

Extremely unlikely: It is extremely unlikely that an incident like this will cause harm to the baby especially that you are in your 27th week. However, it may be advisable to seek consultation of a specialist in the field to make sure you are not having any other symptoms.
