What is the process for applying for permanent residence for the mother of a child born in the US?
The mothers is here as a student on F-1 status and is pregnant with her first child. When and how can she apply for permanent residence in this situation since the child will be born in the US?

There is no such a process. This mother is NOT eligible for a green card after giving birth to a child in the United States.
When a child turns 21 years of age (in about 21 years from now), then he or she can petition for his/her mother. Until then, she needs to seek some other legal options for applying for residency.
The child is likely going to be a ciitzen of her mother's country of citizenship. Therefore, when mother completes her studied (on F1 visa), she can take her child with her to her country.
