It would be irresponsible for any of us to give you such advice. We have no idea of your condition or the fetus'. The only one who can advise you on this is your OB/Gyn. If you try to induce except under your physician's care you could be harming the fetus. Do you want to do that after carrying for 34 weeks?

You still have 6 weeks to go. It's not advisable to induce labor unless there is a medical reason for either you or your baby. If there is, your doctor will discuss induction with you. It's not something you do yourself.
Also, just so you know, it's normal for your baby to be head down at this stage. It doesn't mean that labor is imminent. Also, the weight is not as important as the maturity of your babies lungs.
There's a reason why babies should be carried to term if they can be. Their health. Although you baby would likely survive if it's born now (with help), it has a better chance if it's born at term.
