The child is totally the center I think, but the parent's health is essential to the child.

Your mom is a wise woman. I believe that as parents (or future parents) it's important to take care of our own needs so that you have enough to give to our children. Just like on an airplane when the flight attendant tells parents to secure their own oxygen masks before the child's. I also believe by taking care of ourselves we model for children the importance of that.
