Abstract
This study selected Google and Naver, the most recognizable Internet portals in Korea, as subjects for analysis. “Postpartum obesity” and “postpartum depression” were used as keywords for data collection. This study aimed to provide basic data for solving maternal problems using big data. Keywords related to postpartum obesity were collected from the portal site Google from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. The collected data were analyzed through simple frequency analysis, N-gram analysis, and keyword network. This study can be used as basic data for postpartum obesity-related programs or academic research. It is also expected to be used for research on the development of a mobile-based customized healthcare system focused on maternal health. Previous papers and data are still insufficient at solving the physical and mental problems related to postpartum obesity and depression. It is necessary to find ways to continuously integrate and collect data from mothers across the country.

Summary
Pregnancy and childbirth, which cause weight gain, may lead to obesity after delivery and be a risk factor for disease. Weight gain due to pregnancy is an important health indicator; it causes complications during the prenatal period and delivery and regarding breast cancer, heart disease, and diabetes after childbirth. The average weight retention after childbirth, which concerns many women, is approximately 1–1.5 kg. When this is corrected, considering normal weight gain and weight measurement errors due to age, the effect of pregnancy itself is likely to be only approximately 0.5 kg. Approximately 15–20% of pregnant women experience significant postpartum weight gain, and at least 10% experience significant retention of approximately kg [2]
