Maybe I don't remember correctly, but doesn't the doctor that performs the delivery say to Obi-Wan that they couldn't find a medical reason for her to be dying, but that it seemed that she simply didn't want to live anymore or something? For knowing what Anakin had become?
Because I remember thinking "why does this strong character, a former queen, always calm and collected, who is pregnant and about to have a child (one = as far as she knew), think she no longer has a reason to live?!"
That really irritated me when I saw the movie, because up to that point she was flawless to me.
Am I recalling that scene incorrectly?
EDIT: I still love her though!

However, a plausible explanation is explained here, which I happen to be a fan of:
