Youdo need to tell your midwife. Given that you had them when you were younger you should have sufficient antibodies, however if for some reason you don't it can be very dangerous for baby.
It doesn't hurt to tell the midwife. Since you've already had them you should be fine. But your midwife can tell you what you should watch for symptoms wise.
