Now I'm no rocket surgeon, so "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies". But I do know how to drop old movie quotes. And I don't think Lyanna died from a fever because of childbirth.

It's possible, but my wife had a fever of about 103 when she delivered our son and they said that was normal. They are very common in childbirth and can be even worse if there are complications.

I have another reinforcing factor for R + L = J.

From the Catelyn II POV:
"Whoever Jon's mother had been, Ned must have loved her fiercely, for nothing Catelyn said would persuade him to send the boy away."

Now explain to me who Ned could have loved so much that he could not bear to dishonor their child. Ashara Dayne? Wylla? They would have been one night stands pretty much and I seriously doubt he had feelings enough to disappoint his wife, who he is obviously very much in love with, throughout the entirety of their marriage. It is mentioned earlier in Ned 1 that Ned loved Lyanna with all of his heart. Yeah that seems to fit with Catelyn's statement.
