I am 39 weeks pregant, and 2 days ago about 3 cm. dilated. Is it all right for me to talk a bath?

If your water hasnt broken then I'd say it's ok.  Just be sure not to put anything in your water and dont put any soap on or near your vagina.  Just wash up with a rag and clear water only.  Also dont make your bath water too hot.  It's just like having a water birth!  Just go through the extra pre-cautions of making sure the tub is scrubbed out well and all the chemicals rinsed away!  Good luck.  You must be excited!
