What Causes Fetal Heart Beat To Stop And Start Upon Jerking?
When I was pregnant during the last trimester my baby heart stopped beating and the doctor put her hand inside and shuck the baby and got it (heart) started. I never ask if that will bring any consequences later to my baby.So now is 12 seems very normal but I notice little things that I wonder.

Hi, I have gone through your question. Sometimes,the fetal hheart rate decreases and then the fetal scalp stimulation by stimulating the fetal scalp by fingers through the vagina and cerviX increases the heart rate. This is the effective method of fetal stimulation.
This does not effect the mental status of the baby.
I would suggest you to not to worry as that incidence of fetal scalp stimulation does not effect the child.
If you feel some abnormality in your child, I would suggest you to consult a neurologist for proper examination and treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
