Removing Multiple Activities from History After a Certain Point

I would like to be able to remove activities from history but only after a certain threshold has been reached. The structure of my application goes like this:

Home --> User Input  --> User Input --> User Input --> Posting in DB

I would like to make it so that while the user is giving data in the input pages, they can easily go back and make a change if necessary, but once they have created a database entry they should not be able to move backwards throughout the forms in previous activities, but instead selecting back should take them straight to "Home".

I am aware of the finish() as well as android:noHistory="true" methods but these doesn't really work for delaying the history removal until later. Any Thoughts?

At the below code, it removes all activities from history, and starts home activity. 

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Welcome.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    startActivity(intent);
}
