As long as you admit that Jesus Christ, true Man and true God, one person, was born of Mary, but yet Mary was not the mother of the divinity, you are meeting the definition of the term "Mother of God".
In that it is a confusing term, and one that tends to make some believe that it means Mary was the mother of the second person of the Trinity, it should be used in the right context of Christlogical theology. If you are afraid that some may take the title "Mother of God" the wrong way, you are correct in stating that meaning differently to that person or group. Just be sure you do so in a manner that preserves the undivided person of Jesus.

and one that tends to make some believe that it means Mary was the mother of the second person of the Trinity Mary is the mother of the Second Person of the Trinity. There are not two persons in Jesus. The one person in Jesus is the Second Person of the Trinity, and that is the Person of whom Mary is the mother.
