contractions on and off

32 weeks contractions on and off I thought last month he was going to be a February baby since I was having them every minute non stop. But today they are happening every 5 minutes or less and pressure down low .  I don't want to go to the hospital to have them send me back home so I'm just going to wait it out at home where I don't have to be poked with needles and just hope he doesn't come for another 3-5 weeks
