I don't think Lyanna died from a fever because of childbirth.
Postpartum infection was a very common way to die in the pre-antibiotic and pre-aseptic technique days.
If it was this, she would be febrile within a day or two after delivery and probably die a few days after that. Isn't there also a mention of a "bloody bed"? That would imply postpartum hemorrhage, which would lead to a much quicker death.
IIRC, there is no mention of the time period they spend at the tower after the big fight eh? Just that Ned brings her body back to Winterfell. Could they have stayed there a few days trying to save her before she kicked the bucket?

Absolutely. My big thing is the promise. What promise could Ned make the Lyanna that would "take the fear out of her eyes"? No way it was, "I promise to take your bones back to Winterfell".

I stand corrected on my fever theory. Thanks to the birthin' scientists for that.
Still, I think Lyanna may have died because she was wounded in the fight. The main evidence for this comes later in the series from the story of the Knight of the Laughing tree.

I also think that quote above reinforces R+L=J. The mention of rose petals and smells clearly links to a love affair with Rhaegar.
