Mary too "bore" God -- Jesus Christ. She birthed Jesus Christ -- GOD. She did not create Him or imbibe him no more than our mothers created us or gave us our souls.

If we understand God as trip part.. a trinity.. she is not the mother of the Trinity ..she is the mother of 1 part of the triune God ..the one we cll the "son of God /the "son of man"

I personally do not have a specific issue with the term "mother of God" but it is too broad a title IMHO

Metmom note that the Holy Spirit (through her cousin elizabeth) prompts Elizabeth to say "Mother of My Lord"

In the Bible she is called "Mother of Jesus" -- who is God Incarnate, hence the term Theotokos or Bearer of God is apt -- you can be more precise with Theoensarkonotokos

you know the reason why the term Theotokos is used if you reference Nestorius.
