I think because it wasn't really relevant to the story. As been said, the themes of this episode were more centered on mothers and sons.
And while Hotch is a parent and may have nightmares about the evil things that could happen to his son, Jack has never gone missing. So even though he is a parent, he still didn't really know what the parents were feeling at that moment.
I think that if Hotch had said something "Yes, I know what you are feeling, I have a son myself," both of them would have said some version of what I said above. Hotch knew that, so he wisely kept quiet.
JJ, they couldn't hide the fact that she was pregnant. So they worked it into the story.
Now maybe next week, we might get more hear more about Hotch being a daddy. For example, giving advice to will about changing a baby's diapers and the thing you have to watch out for when changing a boy...
