i would suggest that you have a word with your midwife as this can be a sign of gestational diabetes.
Its a simple blood test (well two with a glucose solution drunk inbetween) that will give you a result.

Or it may just be normal, dry air from central heating, being over warm etc can make you more thirsty.

I can't remember being so thirsy that I would wake in the night, but I would drink 2-3 litres water a day towards the end of my pregnancy if that helps you atall!
I'm also 30 weeks and I'm very thirsty too. Although not as much as you. I'm parched in the mornings when I wake up but it doesn't wake me in the night. I find that water gives me bad heartburn so have been drinking pomegranate juice by the litre!
