Also the placement of the placenta can determine when you feel the baby move. Mine is at the front so i didn't feel any movements til week 24

Hey there :) are you a tall girl? Because we tallies dont show til a little later also :) im not really a skinny girl and im 5,9 and didnt actually show til i was around 19 weeks. Some women never show at all so dont worry. Its alot to do with how youre carrying and how much water is in there, the placement of the placenta etc etc :)

I'm super petite and I didn't really start showing or needing bigger clothes until around month 5ish. I'm still not very big and I'm just past 7 months. The doctor isn't worried and I can feel her move so I wouldn't worry. :-)

There could be multiple reasons on why you are not showing yet. Try not to panic. It could be anything from the position of your uterus (which is different from woman to woman, and normally isn't a cause for alarm) to the position of the baby. The uterus isn't typically to your belly button until around 20 weeks. Some women won't show until well past then. Just be calm and patient and try to enjoy your pregnancy. Good luck and congratulations!
